Machine-to-machine sharing of wayline deviation information
In one embodiment, a method comprising wirelessly receiving a signal comprising information about a deviation to a first wayline; and applying the deviation to a second wayline.
1. A system, comprising:
a first machine, the first machine comprising:
a first wireless transceiver;
a first global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver;
a first memory encoded with first autoguidance software; and
a first processor configured by the first autoguidance software to:
receive a nudge command that initiates a deviation to a first wayline without changing the first wayline;
apply the deviation to the first wayline; and
conditionally communicate, over a wireless communications link, a signal comprising information about the deviation to a second machine; and
a second machine, the second machine comprising:
a second wireless transceiver;
a second global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver;
a second memory encoded with second autoguidance software; and
a second processor configured by the second autoguidance software to:
wirelessly receive the signal via the wireless transceiver;
apply the deviation to a second wayline; and
cause guided navigation of the second machine according to the deviation at a location adjacent to where the signal comprising information about the deviation was wirelessly transmitted, the deviation to the first wayline being parallel with the deviation to the second wayline.
