The work machine further includes a work-implement operator control configured to transmit a signal indicative of a work-implement movement command, a boom operator control configured to transmit a signal indicative of a boom movement command, and a boom sensor configured to detect a movement of the boom and transmit a signal indicative of the detected movement of the boom. The work implement further includes a controller configured to receive signals from the work-implement operator control, the boom operator control, and the boom sensor. The controller is further configured transmit a signal to cause movement the work implement relative to the boom based on the detected movement of the boom and the work-implement movement command. | 2021-05-27 |
