Re: Using the cRIO to control custom lights

Wow, thanks for all the great responses, everybody!!

Here's a concept which I've come up with based off your advice. It uses a capacitor to "smooth" the current and voltage applied to the lights, and a transistor to protect the cRIO/Digital Sidecar from drawing too much current. Is this a good place to start? Thanks,
