NI-myRIO 1900 Real-Time Embedded Control Device

Introductory education pricing

A portable, FPGA-based embedded controller designed for hands-on robotics, control, and mechatronics education.

Product Overview

Move from measurement to real embedded systems.

This student embedded controller kit enables learners to design, deploy, and test real-time control and robotics systems using actual hardware—not simulations alone. Built around a real-time processor and reconfigurable FPGA, it bridges classroom theory with industry-relevant practice.

Designed for engineering education, project-based learning, and capstone design, this compact controller supports sensors, actuators, and custom I/O while remaining portable enough for take-home labs and team projects.

Why Choose This Kit

• Purpose-built for engineering, robotics, and mechatronics education
