First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for compensating for a dead band in a steering mechanism of a mobile machine, comprising:
- determining a first dead band value for actuating said steering mechanism in a first direction;
determining a second dead band value for actuating said steering mechanism in a second direction; and
storing said first dead band value and said second dead band value as discrete values.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention recite a method and system for controlling steering dead band in a mobile machine. In one embodiment, a first dead band value for actuating said steering mechanism in a first direction is determined. Then, a second dead band value for actuating said steering mechanism in a second direction is determined. The first dead band value and said second dead band value are then stored as discrete values.

15. A system for controlling a mobile machine comprising:
-
an actuator for operating the steering mechanism of said mobile machine;
a controller coupled with said actuator for automatically actuating said steering mechanism in a first direction according to a first dead band value and for automatically actuating said steering mechanism in a second direction according to a second dead band value;
a determiner coupled with said steering mechanism for determining said first dead band value and said second dead band value; and
a storage medium coupled with said determiner and with said controller for storing said first dead band value and said second dead band value as discrete values. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
