Re: Using the cRIO to control custom lights

Some Electronic Speed Controllers are significantly less expensive than a Jaguar. (I've seen a circuit you can build with less than $15 in parts, though one of them is a PIC that needs to be programmed.)

Stepping out of the box for a moment, would a mechanical solution work? You could use a servo to open and close a shutter on an always-on lamp.
