-With the NXT Sensor Adapter for myRIO, you can now connect your myRIO to the expansive NXT sensor options offered for the myRIO and  LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT ecosystems. The NXT Sensor Adapter is designed to work with any NXT sensor under 9V, and uses an I2C multiplexer to create access to all three NXT ports using the single myRIO I2C interface included on the default FPGA personality. The NXT sensor connector signals are also available on 6-pin headers for direct access for probing or debugging. +<WRAP center round important 60%> 
 +The NXT Sensor Adapter for the NI myRIO is a limited time product. Once the current stock is depleted, it will be discontinued in our store.

-  +The NXT Sensor Adapter for the NI® myRIO is designed to bring the popular Lego® Mindstorms® NXT sensors to the myRIO ecosystem. The NXT Sensor Adaptor connects to one of the 34-pin MXP ports on your NI myRIO and breaks out the myRIO Analog, Digital, and I2C channels to three standard NXT input ports. Additionally, all three NXT sensor ports have female jumper connections for directly probing NXT sensor signals or connecting your own custom solutions. 
-**Using the Adapter with myRIO**+
  
-Please visit the [[https://decibel.ni.com/content/community/academic/products_and_projects/myrio | myRIO Community Website]] for example code and project ideas.+This board will support "passive” and “digital” Lego-certified sensors. This includes light, sound, touch, compass, tilt, color, force and magnetic sensors.
