Tinker, Learn, and Do Engineering With NI myDAQ
by Professor Barry Parton | Dalhousie University
These hands-on experiments cover a wide range of topics including analog and digital circuits, sensors and signal processing. The experiments are designed from a full-system perspective, integrating software and hardware solutions for a complete learning experience . Students will find these project-based labs not only entertaining in style but also comprehensive in content. The experiments highlight the many useful features of myDAQ while developing the students problem solving abilities. Once students have tried these experiments, they may find themselves tinkering and creating their own unique electrical systems.
