Yes, I think this would probably be the best thing to do; I really have no need for the realtime behaviour as such. > Add to this a > sampler RT component which also copies the position commands and > whatever other data you want to a fifo that is read by userspace, then > have your userspace program read the output of halsampler and sends it > to your device. You lost me here, due to my very limited knowledge of the emc source structure... :-) Would it be possible for you to point me to a few source files? I think I would also need to sync the time "sensed" by emc with the time used on my machine; otherwise they would get out of sync quite fast. My current idea is to write a small layer (if at all possible) using named pipes between a user-space program and emc; this way anyone can add their own (non-realtime) machines to emc... It should be possible to do this completely without using a realtime kernel (not that this is a problem as such) but obviously I have to dig a little deeper into the source... Currently I have just been able to compile the entire system in simulation mode, which is really all I need.
