Re: 2 switches to connect to USB cable.
Neat,
Have you confused USB with PWM? I suspect you have. If you are using the PWM cable to connect to a digital input on the Digital Side Car, then connect one side of the switch to the black wire of the PWM and the other side of the switch to the white wire. Insulate the red wire so it will not touch anything as it is connected to 5 volts. The switch when open will present a 'high' to the side car and when closed will present a 'low'.
