.NET Core programs (realtime) feasible?

[DDD]

Hi there,

has anyone tried to program the device with .NET Core? We want to do realtime digital IO and talk to other devices over Ethernet.

Can you please tell if it's a good idea to use .NET Core here? Are there any show-stopper we should know about?

Timing is key in our project and we need to react to inputs in a timely manner.

Any input hightly appreciated!

Dear DDD, here is an answer in our forum - unfortunately in German but jut translate it i.e. with https://www.deepl.com/translator

Hi,
.NET Core is no problem.

But you have to poll digital inputs - there is no interrupt-service or so.
What exactly are you meaning with "realtime" ?

1µs, 1ms, 10ms, 100ms ?

I tested checking inputs with .NET Core on REVPI Core 3, few months ago. It works fine, but I did not make any measurement for latencies, but should be faster than Python.

By the way, what is the usual latency you can expect before a change in one the DIO module input is reflected in "/dev/piControl0" ?

Hi please regarding the latency of the system there is the variable called "RevPiIOCycle". I have found this tutorial page "PiCtory neues RevPi Core V1.2".
Maybe we have missed to translate this in English - I'll check this.
This value depends on the hardware and the the PiCtory configuration of your system. You may read out this value in not rounded miliseconds with the command

Code: Select all

piTest -r RevPiIOCycle

Hi everyone, there is any plans for a .Net sdk ?
i did already used the industrial Raspberry tecnology with .net core 3.0 witch is now a bit old but was fitting the purpose
