Hi, Let's say I'm developing a control system for a UAV and I've decided to use Linux with RTAI in the vehicle. I have a real-time task which does the actual actuation of the flight surfaces and it controls the hardware (motors) through GPIO pins. The RT task is talking to Linux through a fifo (which Linux processes see as a block device) and Linux has a device driver for a wireless ...

I'd like to use an inexpensive micro-controller (like Atmel's AVR -- I like the Butterfly demo board but would like other suggestions). And then add 802.11 for broadcasting temperature readings. I saw a few serial-to-WiFi devices, but they're all > $100. Yet I can buy a USB-> WiFi dongle for ~$15. Still, many micro-controllers don't support USB either and I don't want to run Linux (unless ther
