Re: Anyone interested in a Linux-based robot solution?
Can anyone provide some idea of what types of safety protocols are provided in the FPGA? I don't need the specifics of the code, but if we're trying to simulate the system in software, we need to have an understanding for what safety we're trying to implement. Is it like a current limiting governor, or a sample rate limitation or what? And, did we implement any of these safety interlocks before the cRIO came into the picture? if so, how did we do it before the slick FPGA?

TIA,

Mike
