It is true that USB is not realtime. Check out this diagram (it's only slightly out of date): http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/code/Code_Notes.html#_architecture_overview Notice at the bottom there are both realtime hardware devices and non-realtime hardware devices. Modbus generally falls into the non-realtime category, so it isn't hurt by USB's lack of realtime. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
