Re: Control System Design Contest Proposal

I would say a better radio is on my wish list. I liked the gaming adapters, but I like having a built in hub more. I also like the current system the way it is. Of course, it has some flaws (as evidenced by the Einstein report). All together though, it is pretty bulletproof.

As for boot times, the cRIO comes up to vxWorks in less than 20s, maybe 5s for labview RT, and then it's the bloat of your own code slowing it down...
Slowness aside, the cRIO is an FPGA! It has hardware counters and tons of other cool stuff, so I think it is way better than the IFI stuff. As for rookies being able to run with it, assuming you read the help file that is there when you load labview, a rookie could be running inside of 10 minutes.
