Systems and methods for control of excavators and other power machines

A method of operating a power machine, the method comprising:

• activating an oscillating mode of an implement pivotally supported by a lift arm of the power machine via actuation of an operator input device;
• sensing one or more of an orientation of the implement or pressure data of an actuator that moves the implement via a control device of the power machine;
• determining whether the orientation of the implement or the pressure data of the actuator that moves the implement falls within a predetermined oscillation criteria via the control device;
• and
• when the oscillating mode is activated and the control device determines that the orientation of the implement or the pressure data of the actuator that moves the implement falls within the predetermined oscillation criteria, automatically oscillating the implement relative to the lift arm via the control device;
• wherein, in a first vibration control mode, the automatic oscillation is in response to the control device determining that an actual movement of the implement is different from a commanded movement of the implement;
• and
• wherein, in a second vibration control mode, the automatic oscillation is in response to when the control device determining that a threshold operator input has been met.
