From the myRIO user guide:

"The NI myRIO-1900 USB host port supports Web cameras that conform to the USB Video Device Class (UVC) protocol as well as machine vision cameras that conform to the USB3 Vision standard and are USB 2.0 backward compatible. The NI myRIO-1900 USB host port also supports Basler ace USB3 cameras.

"The NI myRIO-1900 USB host port also supports USB Flash drives and USB-to-IDE adapters formatted with FAT16 and FAT32 file systems. LabVIEW usually maps USB devices to the /U, /V, /W, or /X drive, starting with the /U drive if it is available."

This document recommends the Microsoft Webcam: LifeCam Studio, $99 mounted to the [RPS RS-CS305 Copy Stand](https://www.amazon.com/Copy-Stand-Tabletop-Desktop-9x12/dp/B003OAF2BA, $60)

Also suggests the Stratom X-HUB, $194 if we want additional USB ports or an ethernet port.

Here's that setup:

We're using the above setup with the LifeCam and the copy stand.
