Hello,

I’m a newbie with ros-control. Can anybody give me a hint on what is the best way to get a control loop with a given update-period for the following Linux systems

  • just some normal Linux, for example Ubuntu Server. Is there a function setUpdatePeriod somewhere in ros controller_interface?
  • Linux with RT_PREEMPT patched kernel. Does PR2 only use RT_PREEMPT? How to "connect" it with control-managers?
  • Linux with only XENOMAI or RTAI;

Or ros-control must run together with OROCOS RTT?

Thank you in advance!

You can set your update period directly in the controller manager. For now there is a controller manager in each hardware.

See for example of kuka_hardware_interface.

Regarding paching of kernel there is nice description for that in kuka_experimental repository.
