Go to Post There's "FIRST the organization" and then there's "FIRST the vision for the future through a set of ideals". I've grown somewhat skeptical of the former in recent years, but, after 10 years, I'd still throw myself in front of a bus for the latter. - Rich Kressly [more]

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.
