While drones/quadcopters are a more continuous physical system than any clocked digital circuit, they can be controlled quite well with algorithms updating at "only" 1khz, which is probably a relatively wide open door for someone to gatekeep "that isn't realtime"
- squeaky-clean 4y agoAt least in the usage I've seen realtime refers to guarantees on latency and interrupt timers, not necessarily the amount of latency or polling rate. A system that polls at 1mhz but might miss a poll is not realtime, while a system that polls at 1hz with hard deadline guarantees would be considered realtime.
