Yes, I think this would probably be the best thing to do; I really
have no need for the realtime behaviour as such.

One possible approach is to start with the "sim" configuration, in which
position commands are looped back to position feedback. 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

Yes, but why? All the hard work has already been done. You
Hi all, I am a complete newbie to EMC, so please bear with me... :-)
First a little history: I built my own hexapod a year ago using my own
electronics board with an EIA-422 interface to the computer. It
includes a ~200 ms buffer which seems to be enough under both windows
and linux (it you don't
