However, I think you already have in mind that your task will leave the primary domain. You will be in charge to make it switch back. Anyway, a smooth transition from comedi to analogy should be easy, once the calibration feature will be available. Thus, you will get a better determinism for your whole application. > > Thank you very much! > > BR, > Jaryn Sepesi > Alexis. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Xenomai-help mailing list > Xenomai-help@domain.hid > https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xenomai-help
