Generally the Mesa update functions run in the servo thread because there is a fair bit of floating-point maths involved in PWM duty cycle calculations. It is possible to enable floating-point in a base thread, but I suspect that the Mesa update function might be a bit "expensive" to run at 10kHz. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Command Line: Reinvented for Modern Developers Did the resurgence of CLI tooling catch you by surprise?
