No programming is required at all.
It plugs into the same outputs as last year's LED. Any one of the four "Team Light" outputs can be used.
The new LED is wired to only use the first 3-pins of the 5-pin outputs, starting with Black-on-Black. Leaving an extra two pins exposed and unused.

It's spelled out in the last two sentences on page 38 of the "FIRST 2007 Guidelines, Tips, & Good Practices" document found at http://www2.usfirst.org/2007comp/oth...tices_RevA.pdf
