Re: Using the cRIO to control custom lights

If you are using incandescent bulbs, I can't help you. But, if you are using LED's, you can just hook them up to the PWM outputs, or to to the digital outputs (if you use the digital outputs, you will have to write code to pulse them like PWMs to vary brightness). Be sure to check the current source max on the sidecar and compare to the current draw on the LED's
