Design of the Human–Machine Interface of the Control System of a Novel Controllable Mechanism Type Mechanical Excavator

This paper introduces the design of the Human–Machine interface of the control system of a controllable mechanism type planar 3 Degree-of-Freedom mechanical excavator. Based on the kinematics model and the control principle block diagram of the excavator, the interface is established in the C++ programming language, which consists of five parts: (i) speed setting module, (ii) position setting module, (iii) driving information module, (iv) the start button and (v) the stop button. The program codes of each module are given specifically.
