Rule <R54> requires the breakout to power and control the robot signal light, also required in the same rule:

A. The RSL must be connected to the “RSL” supply terminals on a Digital Sidecar

B. The Digitial Sidecar must be connected to a NI 9403 module in Slot 4 of the cRIO-FRC.

C. The RSL must be wired for “solid light” operation, by placing a jumper between the La and Lb terminals on the light per Figure 3-5.
