The Digilent myDigital accessory board for the NI myDAQ and NI myRIO is a compact, student-friendly protoboard designed to support hands-on learning in electronics and circuit design. Built for use with NI Multisim and compatible with both the myDAQ and myRIO, this portable platform enables students to design, construct, and test basic analog and digital circuits—all in one place.
With a myDAQ or myRIO device, the MSP connector provides power (+5 VDC and ±15 VDC) along with eight configurable digital I/O pins, two analog inputs, and two analog outputs. When the board is plugged into the MSP connector, all of these signals are clearly labeled and easily accessible at the top of the protoboard, streamlining the setup for rapid prototyping and experimentation.
Whether you're teaching introductory electronics or advanced embedded systems, this protoboard setup supports real-time learning by allowing students to experiment with signal routing, I/O configurations, and analog-digital interfacing—all while using reliable, classroom-tested hardware.
FAQs
- What is a protoboard used for in electronics education?
- A protoboard is used to build and test electronic circuits without soldering. In education, it allows students to quickly experiment with components, troubleshoot circuits, and understand the flow of analog and digital signals in real time.
- Can I use the myDigital protoboard with both analog and digital circuits?
- Yes. The Digilent myDigital board supports both analog and digital circuits, with clearly labeled signal blocks for analog inputs/outputs and configurable digital I/O—making it ideal for mixed-signal learning and rapid prototyping.
