Hi all.
With Arduino it is impossible to have stepper motors do their work, while at the same time sensors measure things (tested). For example, letting a stepper motor run to point X while an ultrasonic measures and changes point X simultaneously. The way to avoid this off course is doing things linear (and stupid) in stead of parallel and smart!
Arduino simply cannot multi thread. You can simulate it (proto threading) but that does not work when controlling fast stepper motors (tested)
With raspberry comes inaccuracy, so that also does not provide highly accurate stepper motor control (tested). Besides, that's not what the berry is made for.
My question: the Teensy has a 32 bit ARM processor, and if i understand correctly, it also has the accuracy of a controller. Is it possible to really (not quasi) multi thread, so that i can accurately control several high speed stepper motors AND read out several sensors?
Thanks and best regards,
Jeex
