It's for a robot with 8 motors, with a industrial PIII-based PC on board, running RTAI Linux 2.6. The core control task is user-space realtime with a 1ms loop and gets it's controlling commands via plain C-structs that I pass in using python/ctypes. On of the great things about this is that there is Python's GC working in favor of me, as I can simple allocate/deallocate data structures from withing Python.
