[FPGA] - NI 9401 - Input & Output Issues

[AllanIL]

Thank you! This was the solution to my issue. Got to be more careful on specifications next time

Ok! Well maybe you can drive your external supply with the do using a relay without need of changing tour ni board. Bye. Marco

Or a simple digital buffer circuit often does the job as well.  How much current does the sensor need?

[AllanIL]

It requires ~31 mA. How would you implement this as I have never worked with these things before.

Looks like something like a CD74AC244E should do the trick for you.  If you need help figuring out how to hook it up, I recommend you find an Electrical Engineer (or student) to help you.
