Drive forward until sensor hit

Would it be possible to enable sensors while the mower is moved by Joystick or commands?

So a command could be send to drive X seconds or until a collision, border or optionally guide wire was detected?

I don't think so, because all sensors are deactivated by the mowers firmware within the mowers mode, Robonect uses for the Joystick function. Robonect has no chance to influence the mowers firmware. Robonect can only use its modes as they are.

If I have two windows on the laptop open on robonect/loop and robonect/engines, I can see both active while I drive with Joystick over mobile!

So at least driving until loop or guide is detected should be possible.
Also collision detection by increased motor current or reduced rotation speed.

If the robonect had access to a magnetic compass, it would be cool to have a command to turn the mower in a specific direction.

Then my automation could determine the approximate location, and then point the mower in the right direction to find the nearest guidewire, and then just issue the park/go home command.

I think you don’t understand, that the mowers firmware (not robonects) gives no chance to do this.

Well, if robonect can show me the motors and the loop while I control the mower with "Joystick", I'd assume robonect has access to all values, and could therefore Stop the motors when boundary, guide or high motor current or low speed is detected.
