You can use it in one of two ways (or both I guess if you buy another one)...

It can be used on the classmate Driver Station to provide access to custom I/O such as buttons, knobs, LEDs, etc on your driver console. You must use the official provided firmware if you wish to use it this way.

It can also be used on the robot in any custom way you choose (i.e. a sensor interface for any special sensors you decide to use). You must make your own design and firmware for it in this use case. The easiest way to interface it with the cRIO is probably with I2C, though there are many other ways that are possible.
