The problam is, I don't know how to "connect" what I see in Labview to what I see on the board. And our electrician hasn't got a clue on how to connect DIOs and PWMs etc to it.
For autonomous you can also use a few switches on the robot, connected to Digital Inputs. Or we use a rotary switch, with multiple resisters connected to an analog input on the robot.

To wire a few toggle switches on the control panel, we found it easier to take apart a joystick and parallel toggle switches to some of the push-buttons.
