myDigital Overview

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

The myDigital board can be powered from the myDAQ or through an external power jack. The connector is a standard coaxial power connector, commonly available on DC wall adapters. An onboard regulator supplies fixed 3.3 or 5 VDC (jumper configurable) from this external power.

The myDigital board features a power supply connector for stand-alone use, an NI myDAQ miniSystem port connector, a breadboard area, seven-segment LED displays, buttons (momentary switches), slide switches, discrete LEDs, and an onboard power regulator.

The 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.

The myDigital board also includes switches and displays. The switches provide +5 V at the respective terminal block contacts when in the ON position and GND when in the OFF position. The board also features individual LED indicators arranged to create three configurations: two "traffic light" style patterns, a horizontal series of a single color, and a "die" pattern. The myDigital has two standard seven-segment displays with direct access to each LED segment.

All I/O on NI myDAQ is programmable using LabVIEW, making it easy to create custom instruments or student projects that incorporate graphical user interfaces. This makes the myDigital Accessory Board a versatile tool for both learning and experimenting with electronics.
