Brown is the positive supply to the sensor, and needs to come from the red terminal of a 20 Amp circuit on the Power Distribution board (or from an output on the solenoid breakout if you want to use 24 volts instead). Blue is the power return (ground), and should come from the adjacent black terminal on the Power Distribution board.

Either black or white can be connected to the SIGnal pin of a Digital Input on the Digital Sidecar. The LabVIEW autonomous line-following sample code expects the white wire.
Blue is negative and Brown is positive, that's what a site on the internet was saying....
