Get more out of myDAQ with the mySTEM™ Project Board
High quality STEM projects require the signal monitoring with sensors, making decisions and setting appropriate outputs. NI myDAQ is an affordable, student-ready signal measurement and instrumentation control device that allows students to create and visually monitor and verify experiments. The device is very affordable utilizing the low level voltage signals from the myDAQ (sold separately). In order to control larger, higher current output devices we have created the mySTEM™ Board miniSystem.
Key Benefits:
- Connects NI myDAQ to larger, higher current devices
- Transforms myDAQ into a Programmable Action Controller
- Allows for control of four separate output channels
- Focus on data acquisition and signal processing and control logic
- Supports creativity and exploring of a wider range of solutions
- Learning resources prepared by Tom White, distinguished Educator
Designed specifically for high school and post-secondary education environments, the mySTEM™ Board for the NI myDAQ and LabVIEW is the ideal tool for integrating teaching and learning science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, STEM. The mySTEM™ board comes with curriculum that may be used by any beginner in the STEM or Engineering fields of studies in order to acquire and measure data, make decisions and control various output devices. This makes it an essential tool for the introduction to control systems.
Combined with the NI myDAQ and LabVIEW, the mySTEM™ board allows students to control the state and direction of four output channels. These channels can support a wide range of field devices. Students will be able to control DC motors, read encoders, and stepper motors. The board can also be used with relays, buzzers, solenoids, electromagnets, and any other devices that utilizes DC voltage. This will allow students to expand the use of the myDAQ and Labview to make their own control systems, miniSystems, as classroom projects and explore many career related disciplines that are high paying and increasingly in high demand.
Main Features:
- 4 bidirectional output channels
- Easily controlled with LabVIEW as the visual control programming language
- Open ended engineering miniSystem. Allows teachers to assign miniSystem projects in a wide variety of fields such as Control systems, Robotics controls, Data Acquisition and measurement, and various Manufacturing scenarios
- Applied to Automation, pneumatics, hydraulics, event counters, and PWM motor control
- Breadboard area to allow the connection to a wide variety of readily available DIP style integrated circuits, TTL logic ICs, various sensors and actuators from hundreds of independent vendors
