Hey--
I'm wondering how you people that are doing sophisticated stuff are writing the software for your robots. I'm planning on writing a behavioral based robot program, with multiple types of sensors to integrate and multiple objectives. While I've written some fairly complicated programs w/o the use of an RTOS, the code management got difficult and the bug rate shot up.
Any comments on the following?

What are the limitations of the free ones? I can't figure this out from the documentation. Also, I need very precise control of PWM to run my DC motors and servos. Is this possible with an RTOS?
TIA, Mark
PS I should add that my platform is the 68HC11E, specifically the Technological Art's Adapt11C24DX. In addition, I'm using RS-232 to interface to a Palm which will do floating point operations, store larger amounts of data, and (eventually) operate a WiFi card.
