So let's say you have a thing on your robot that needs 5 volts. Think hard: Where can you get THAT from? If you find a spot, try using it. (Hint: If it is at a WAGO connector, keep looking)

Yes, of course there is. It's not an automatic configuration for some random sensor. OK, not the drivers station per se, but the cRio.

Please try searching ChiefDelphi, using the word "Maxbotix" for a wealth of useful information. Maybe even try the Maxbotix web site?

Help yourself by helping yourself.
