[Rock-dev] feature request orocos.rb: writing and reading ports periodically

[Alexander Duda]

Hi,

I think it would be good if we had the following features for reading
writing ports periodically. 

#write every second something on to the port
task.port.writer(1,policy=nil) do |data|
	data.bla = 123
end

#read every two seconds from the port
task.port2.reader(2,policy=nil) do |data|
	puts data.bla
end

the reading is already implemented in vizkit.rb
task.port2.connect_to do |data,_|
	puts data.bla
end

Personally I would like to have both things in orocos.rb 
but in this case we need a mainloop which can be called from the
vizkit.rb

Any suggestion to this topic?

thx
Alex
