Dear Sebastian,

I get the following error when I want to check battery settings (only for this query):

Exception in thread Thread-2:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python27\lib\threading.py", line 810, in __bootstrap_inner
self.run()
File "C:\Python27\lib\threading.py", line 763, in run
self.__target(_self.__args, *_self.__kwargs)
File "\RT-N56U-2\ArduMower\ArdumowerDK\ArdumowerDK.py", line 1154, in receiveThread
msg += mower.readline().decode('ASCII')
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc2 in position 43: ordinal not in range(128)

do we use some special characters or is it only me? need to check...

Best

Christian

Hi,

hmm, the spec sais, it is likely UTF-8 encoded, with raw data encoding restricted to US-ASCII.
I'll need to change the ASCII decoder into a UTF-8 decoder. I'll update the pull request at the weekend.

It is just me. I use " °C " for the temperature sensor in the battery...
