Overview
This is a basic design for a Vernier Sensors Adapter for myDAQ.

Description
The file contains Utiboard schematic for Vernier Sensor Adapter for myDAQ.

Requirements
NI Ultiboard 11.0 or compatible

 Constraints and Caveats:
1) myDAQ 5V output is not regulated, which means sensors might need to be calibrated.
2) Some Vernier sensors require 3 Analog Adapter, which is only possible if you use the Audio Input.
3) Use the NI ELVIS Vernier Library for existing instruments for various sensors.
4) Vernier uses British Telecom Adapters (BTA), find attached the mechanical drawings for these parts.
