It's a pci card, with a dsp to read the signal from a force=20 sensor. http://www.comedi.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/comedi/comedi/drivers/jr3_pci.c?r= ev=3D1.5&view=3Dlog > You may have noticed that I am still developing Comedi4RTDM.

It's a lot of work ..... but there's one think that I don't understand. Are= =20 you modifying the comedi sources?

I have no idea about the comedi drivers structure, neither the xenomai. I c= an=20 be a tester, sure. I have just compiled, making a debian package, installed= =20 and sent the test. If I can have this driver, I can use xenomai if not, I=20 have to return to rtai .... and I think that it's very interesting in my ca= se=20 use xenomai and not rtai.
