IMO that $50 would be better served towards an arduino with a potentiometer. This gives you a tool with endless possibilities (including acting as a motor controller). Actually, AndyMark now has a shield for an arduino that can make it replace your cRIO for testing, which makes an arduino all the more valuable.
