How tough is using RoboJDE - Share your experience   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #375 of 410 |
is the intellibrain 2, too complicated to use, does it run out of processing
power, memory etc?

I want to buy and use it but am scared that it may too complicated. As almost
all the tutorials require multitasking, syncronisation of threads, setting
priorities to threads, update listener etc

The examples state that if I don't use these techniques, then i'll overburden
the virtual machine and scary stuff will happen. the whole purpose of roboJDE is
to simplify things, not complicate them.

I want to use the intellibrain to implement one PID (sampling rate of 25 Hz),
control 10 sensors, Serial IO with a PC to control the pid, use nubotics wheel
commander for speed control etc. Will I need to use multithreading?

So, how easy is it really to "overload" the microcontroller if i just code
everything in one thread. how is your experience? please share :-)
any help would be appreciated.

My experience is that most of the Intellibrain example programs are fairly simple and do not use threads. I even rewrote a serial port driver for doing remote...
