NXT Sensor Adapter for myRIO

Overview

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, you can access the 3.3 or 5V power directly from the myRIO MXP connector. The silk screen is labeled on the 6 pin breakout header to reflect the Multiplexer inputs.
