I think that there are more people using RTL for robotics than anyone thinks. I am among them. I am working on a robot that uses an FPGA to handle low-level sensor polling, timing generation, and motor control. The RTL module uses a handshaking protocol over the printer port to copy the data to/from the registers in the FPGA into shared memory where the user-space higer-level stuff picks it up. RTL provides an efficient, atomic, periodic update of the "sensor ensemble" structures. PS: I actually think that a usenet newsgroup just for RTL/Robot people would be popular. Have a nice day. -kurt ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com --- [rtl] --- To unsubscribe: echo "unsubscribe rtl" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] OR echo "unsubscribe rtl <Your_email>" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---- For more information on Real-Time Linux see: http://www.rtlinux.org/~rtlinux/
