That won't work for a couple of reasons. First, a PWM cable has the right connector at one end, but it has pins at the other end. You'd need to cut two of them and splice the proper ends together in order to get a cable with a "socket" at both ends.

The other reason is that the gyro connections have to go to an analog input on the Analog Breakout, not a digital one on the Digital Sidecar.


If you intend to make your own cables, I second the recommendation for Hansen Hobbies.
