Tertola,
There is a variety of great reading on the First website. Check the links under competition documents especially Section 8 Robot rules. The First Suggestions document will walk you through most of what you need. Keep a drawing of the robot wiring diagram handy as you go through this. As a minimum, you will need to mount up the Power Distribution (PD), the CRIO with an analog module in the first slot, an interface card on the analog module with a jumper added for reading the battery voltage (see the Robot rules), the wireless access point(the black box) and a digital module connected to the Digital Sidecar through the 37 pin cable. Once those are mounted, you will need to connect power to the CRIO from the PD, power to the Sidecar and the analog output module. All of the instructions for connection of these devices are in the Control system manual and duplicated on the robot wiring diagram.
