Re: Maximum current draw through DIO port

The spike has been tested for the relay ports. I don't know if they have been tested for a DIO pin. The specs are different. The NI guys say the RoboRIO IO have been tested by teenagers & is nearly indestructible. But I am superstitious (or maybe I have more efficient teenagers. )

The input voltage for the spike's relay section is 12V nominal. I do not know if it will work at 5v.
