Greetings Peter; 1) This config I started out with has a watchdog.reset as a separate addf'd function which I suspect is in the leftovers that are now past their use-by date column. Can I nuke that addf entry?
2) I'm not that familiar with threads when they are added, slower than servo threads. So, can I move the final write to the 7i90 to the end of that string of servo-thread addf's, and treat the other slower thread for my jog wheel thread stuff as independent of the servo-thread list? I feel like I have created a monster by having the jog-thread stuff inside the servo-thread addf list in my hal file. But I don't know for sure because man 9 threads manpage doesn't illuminate how thats handled. It says "hard real time" and one interpretation sets off alarm bells in my alleged mind because that implies it might fight with the servo-thread enough to cause the joint errors at random times. The threads module makes no mention of priority order, and I am using just one, slower than servo thread additional thread. And I would like to think the jog-thread only executes between servo-thread invocations. So can anyone shed some light on this admittedly unusual situation? Thanks Peter and all.
