I have been working on realtime robotics under Linux, and just learned about iio. It seems like many great hardware drivers are being written (some of which I had started working on in parallel), and it would be great if I could integrate what I am working on with iio. It seems mostly targeted at streaming data acquisition and output, but also includes triggering and event support. Has there been any thought to running realtime control loops using the iio subsystem? For this application I would be reading from sensors (i2c interface accelerometers etc) in the 10's of hz (ideally at least 50) and then updating actuator outputs. Any thoughts on the feasibility? I would probably accomplish this by writing a kernel driver to glue the input iio devices to the output. I'm not sure what type of latency and jitter would result from this configuration, but this could limit the applications. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-iio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
