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.
Thanks for the correction. I fixed my post. Last year our board came without pin headers. I'm not sure now if it had them this year but, if not, we added them since we make PWM cables.
