[rtl] RE: rtl and robots

["Kurt Rosenfeld" <kurtrosenfeld@hotmail.com>]

I think that there are more people using RTL for robotics than anyone 
thinks.  I am among them.  I am working on a robot that uses an FPGA to 
handle low-level sensor polling, timing generation, and motor control.  
The RTL module uses a handshaking protocol over the printer port to copy 
the data to/from the registers in the FPGA into shared memory where the 
user-space higer-level stuff picks it up.  RTL provides an efficient, 
atomic, periodic update of the "sensor ensemble" structures.  

PS: I actually think that a usenet newsgroup just for RTL/Robot people 
would be popular.

Have a nice day.
