Also, could you just give it a signal from the cRIO?
Note that it says outputs FROM sensors, not TO devices. Control outputs to devices other than kit motors, solenoids valves, or legal servos are not permitted. And as already stated, the e-regulator is really a servo, steppermotor, or electromagnet of some form, so it is not a legal actuator. An e-regulator is illegal in multiple ways.
