Don't do this.
Red is +5 volts. Black is the power return. If the switch makes contact, it'll short out the 5 volt supply on your Digital Sidecar. The supply is protected against this, so it won't be ruined, but everything else connected to +5 will lose power for the duration of the switch activation.
What you should use are the black (-) and
white or yellow (signal) wires. Black goes to the
Common terminal on the microswitch. The signal wire connects to either the
Normally
Open or the
Normally
Closed terminal.
