Method and system for controlling drill functionality

Disclosed herein are a method and system for controlling a drill rig by utilising a drill control module. A drill control module for controlling functionality of a drill rig comprises: a processor; a storage medium for storing a computer program having instructions that when executed on the processor perform the method steps of: drilling a hole by repeatedly: activating a hammer drilling mode for a predefined interval parameter, said activated hammer drilling mode causing a drill bit of said drill rig to impact a surface using a hammer drilling technique; and activating a pause interval for a predefined interval time, during which said drill bit reduces engagement with said surface.
