The problem is I won't be giving it a digital output, but analogue since I want to control the speed of the motor... Might I ask why that is that I shouldn't wire the motor directly?

Hello again! After being given some great ideas for a project here(using temperature sensors, etc..), I finally found one. A heat based fan controller like ones found in the GPU. However when I asked my professor about the idea, he said that using a fan(motor) with the DAQ USB 6008 would make the DAQ's circuitry fry due to the large power required by a motor. Is that true?

Hello all! I'm a forth year computer engineering student. I'm currently taking an instrumentation lab, and I was assigned around 2 weeks to hand in an end of term project. I have to use the DAQ USB 6008 (I've gotten fully acquainted with it so that's now problem) The problem is I can't find any ideas! Most projects are either too advanced or too simple for me to do. I know this probably has been asked around 100 times here, and sorry for asking for the 101th time, but do you have any idea on what would be a good two week project for someone of my level?
