Re: Worried about high CPU usage in CRIO

We are seeing CPU usage interfering with operations, and so are also optimizing our code. We are fooling with Arduinos to manage some of the easier computing tasks offboard, not sure if we;ll actually use any of them though. Some of our motors are taking advantage of the PID loops in the Jaguars (available under CAN control) to further offload CPU cycles.

A 400 MHz Power PC and we're maxing it out. Incredible.
