myRIO

The myRIO is a complex microprocessor geared towards students designing engineering solutions to a variety of problems. The myRIO has four built-in LEDs, as well as two audio ports, and a variety of other features, as shown below.

This JumboBooks tutorial will give the user an introduction about how to control the LEDs on the myRIO through BotSpeak in LabVIEW. To start off, the user is introduced to the myRIO's features, as shown in the picture above.

The tutorial then allows the user to press buttons on your computer to turn on LEDs on the myRIO, as shown below.

The tutorial then introduces the user to LabVIEW, allowing the user to play around with two different sequences of code. Lastly, the tutorial challenges the user to write their own code.
