Re: Future use of cRIO?

32 Channel Digital I/O module for $349.00
32 Channel Analog Input module for $799.00
8-Channel Relay, 60 VDC/30 Vrms, 750 mA (Relay Outputs) $299.00
As for the Pulse Generation... I guess we use the Digital I/O...

I'm also being generous on the ports, there are much less in the actual system.

Add this up and you get $4446.00 total, and all of these are modules, so if any single part breaks, you can replace it... and also, the FIRST Modules should be much cheaper, or will be made cheaper to FIRST teams. <-Talk about a run-on sentence...

Oops, my bad. I was going off of something else I read. I should check those facts first <SG>

From the looks of it, we will be using the DIO ports to generate PWM signals (Gosh, I hope there is no latency in the bus).

Anyways, The NI page shows a 30% discount for 100+ unit sales ... I wonder if FIRST will setup an account so that all FIRST teams will get at least this (if not more) discount.
