That is helpful. Somehow I missed that file. I have gotten the generic ASCII interface working enough to pass data back and forth. Is there any reason to switch to the binary format (CTRLS and FDM) now that I'm already started on the generic?
I'm familiar with the binary interface, but if the "generic" interface is working for you, then I can't think of a reason to switch.
One issue I'm curious about: It seems that the IO system will only read one message per period (as specified in the packet rate option). So, if I send the messages just a little too fast, a delay will keep building up indefinitely? Is this true with all the IO interfaces?
The socket interfaces *should* grap all pending packets and discard all but the most recent, so you shouldn't have a problem with building up a backlog (been there/done that.) :-)
