- rt_task_set_periodic(&meteoDataAcquisitionTask, 18, 1000); + rt_task_set_periodic(&meteoDataAcquisitionTask, rt_timer_read() + 18, 1000); The current call should return with -ETIMEDOUT, in which case, the associated acquisition thread would enter a runaway loop, with rt_task_wait_period() systematically bailing out upon the same error, which in turn makes the task sucking all the available CPU.
