Shield Adapter (Uno R3) for NI myRIO

With the Shield Adapter for NI myRIO, you can now connect your myRIO to the expansive shield options offered by the Arduino ecosystem. The Shield Adapter is designed to work with any shield that is compatible with the Arduino^® Uno using the 3.3 or 5V power from the myRIO MXP connector. The silk screen is labeled on the shield pins to reflect the myRIO inputs. 

Some design details: 

• A switch has been included to allow users to switch between UART and Digital I/O (pins 0 and 1 on the Arduino).
• PWM is supported on pins 3, 5, and 6 and is underlined on silk screen for easy identification.
