Re: 2015 RoboRIO/Control System Feedback
I generally loved the new control systems and the Talon SRX motor controllers this year. Just a few requests:
1 - Please reconfigure the kernel to include POSIX message queues and semaphores. Embedded Linux is incomplete w/o these primitives.
2 - Please make it easier to use static priorities in threads. Many teams roll their own software solutions and we can't do the same things we did with VxWorks.
3 - Please use latching connectors on the roboRio. It is nearly a crime that we use the old PWM connectors in a high vibration environment.
4 - Please do not use Silverlight. It requires the client be Windoze and install a bunch of crap.
TIA
