labview brick HW

[falkpl]

I would like to see a new line of HW on the lines of the lego NXT brick.

basically something between the sbrio and low end usb daq.

this could be a bare bones arm processor, low to mid end daq (8-32 dio (fpga to make them optional ctrs i2c/spi pwm  or timmed io, a few Ai and AO).  this line is for stand alone robotics or data logging.  lower cost and power and expandablilty than the crio but not requiring a PC (except as a client) like the crio.  This would fill in to the labview everywhere model, and programmed just as the crio with labview RT and FPGA.  The cost of the crio makes it not practical and an overkill for some applications and for the hobbiest/education robotics market, maybe something like the NXT brick but higher end would be nice to see.
