Short Introduction:

Welcome to the NI myRIO Project Essentials Guide, and welcome to the exciting world of

NI myRIO! This book will serve as your guide to interfacing NI myRIO with the wide variety of sensors, actuators, and displays that you will need for your projects. Each chapter concentrates on a specific component or device, using a mixture of text and

video to guide you through the learning process necessary to successfully integrate the component or device into your system.

For example, consider the photocell of Chapter 9 on page 35, one of the many parts included with the NI myRIO Starter Kit. You’ll get immediate hands-on experience with the photocell as you build a simple demonstration circuit, connect it to one of the NI myRIO expansion ports, and run a provided Lab-VIEW program to confirm that the photocell works properly. After that, study a video tutorial that explains photocell operating principles and learn how to design a suitable interface circuit. Next, try your hand with the suggested modifications to the demonstration LabVIEW code to deepen your understanding of the photocell behavior and LabVIEW programming techniques. At last, you will be ready to tackle the suggested systems integration project in which

you combine the photocell with other devices.
