Abstract
A control system for controlling an agricultural machine with a user interface and a method of adjusting a haptic feedback of a user interface including method steps for determining a current position of the at least one actuator, determining a target position of the at least one actuator, determining a position difference between the current position and the target position, and adjusting a force feedback characteristic in dependence of the position difference.
Claims17
A control system for controlling an agricultural machine, comprising:
- a user interface with a moveable input element;
- a feedback actuator for inducing a haptic feedback in the input element according to a force feedback characteristic;
- at least one actuator being controllable by the user interface;
- and
- a control unit configured to:
- determine a current position of the at least one actuator;
- determine a target position of the at least one actuator;
- determine a position difference between the current position and the target position;
- and
- adjust the force feedback characteristic in dependence of the position difference.
