Digilent myDigital – Protoboard for NI myDAQ and myRIO

• Power supply connector for stand-alone use
• 1260 tie point breadboard area
• Seven-segment LED displays
• 4 push buttons, 4 slide switches

The Digilent myDigital accessory board for the NI myDAQ is designed to work in conjunction with myDAQ to provide students a cost-effective, portable, and engaging platform for teaching electronics. Along with NI Multisim, the myDigital and myDAQ provide everything needed to allow students to design, construct, and test basic analog and digital designs.

• Power supply connector for stand-alone use.
• NI myDAQ miniSystem port connector.
• Breadboard area.
• Seven-segment LED displays.
• Buttons (momentary switches).
• Slide switches.
• Discrete LEDs.
• Onboard power regulator.

NI myDAQ provides power (+5 VDC and ±15 VDC) along with eight configurable digital I/O pins, two analog inputs, and two analog outputs. All of these signals are available to the myDigital at the first two signal blocks at the top of the breadboard when plugged into the MSP connector.

NI myDAQ includes software for using these inputs/outputs for signal generation and measurement, including a two-channel oscilloscope, voltmeter, function generator, digital pattern generator, and more. Separate banana jacks on myDAQ connect to the DMM and allow for accurate measurement of resistance, current, and voltage. All I/O on NI myDAQ is also programmable using LabVIEW, making it easy to create custom instruments or student projects that incorporate graphical user interfaces.
