UART additional ports using myRIO

[MarioMsan]

Hello,

I am using the 9DOF razor IMU which transmit data using serial communication (RX,TX). I already can recieve data perfectly from two IMUs since the myRIO already has two UART ports; however, for my project I need to connect four of these IMUs. I tried to modify the myRIO customized FPGA by copying the existing blocks for the RX/TX pins, but it did not seem to work.

Any thoughts on how to add additional UART channels?

Thanks,

Mario Msan

Have you tried using USB to serial boards

I have used these in the past with success
