Interfacing with custom PCB board? #140

Closed ut33 closed 2 years ago

ut33 commented 2 years ago

Hi, I have a PCB board that uses the Intan RHD 2132 chip. The board has 32 channels and a sampling rate of 1000 samples per a second, so it returns 32 data points every millisecond. The board interfaces with the computer with USB SPI. Can I acquire the data from my custom PCB in real time with RTXI?

Hi, RTXI should be able to deliver real-time requirement for you. The real limitation however is the lack of software drivers for RTXI to interface with usb data aquisition cards. RTXI has been tested with DAQ cards (You can find a list of supported devices here), but unfortunately not with USB devices.

It is possible however to build a plugin that could interface with your device. The plugin would leverage RTXI core facilities to deliver real time. So far this has not been done yet.
