Real time hardware for ROS
I've been looking for some real time capable hardware platform to use with ROS for controlling a robotic arm. So far I haven't really found anything that doesn't include C programming and significant work to get something working(thousand dollar solutions excluded). Edit: both certified and consumer hardware are of interest. Open source is preferred.
Is there any such platform that would allow me to get the robot hardware up and running with minimal coding/configuration only? I'm fairly comfortable with python but not able/willing to work with C. Ethetcat support would be a big plus.
I'm familiar with linuxcnc but that's not an option.
It might be good to mention whether you're looking for certified hardware (which typically comes with a number of limitations, such as supported OS), or whether consumer grade hw on which you can run Xenomai or RT PREEMPT with a regular Linux (or VxWorks or similar) would also be ok.
Good call, I've amended my question.
