The IR board itself is just Velcroed to the top of the vex controller. The wires coming from pins 5-8 on the IR board are going to the inner pin of 4 digital IO ports on the vex controller. The inner pin is always for the signal line, normally a white wire, though we made ours yellow. The power line is not used, and the ground reference was already the same because we powered the Vex controller and the IR board off of the same battery.
