Thanks for the info.
It looks like you should be able to connect the EN pin to a DIO pin on the RoboRio to turn it on and off. You would have to remove the 100kOhm resistor on the D15V35F5S3 if you are using an input (VIN) higher than 5 Volts. This would require that the RoboRio be able to set the EN pin in the High state or Low state 100% of the time. I would expect the software should allow this but I am not sure since I take care of the electrical and mechanical aspects of the robot.
