According to eStop Robotics, that board gets read as a joystick input on your robot. For the Joystick Open VI, choose the JoystickDevice input to match the location of your eStop CCI on the Driver Station Setup tab. For example, if your CCI is in location 2 on the DS, then your JoystickDevice input would be USB 2 in the robot code.
There is another alternative you could use. On the I/O tab of the DS, when it is set to Compatible Mode, you will see Analog Input sliders. You could read these instead of an external potentiometer. In this case you would read the values on the robot using the WPI Robotics Library>>DriverStation>>Compatibility I/O>>WPI_DriverStationGet Analog Input.vi. Then you would scale it accordingly to drive your motor.
