We got our current sensors to work on the first try: from my understanding of the diagram given to us, the 3 pin mount for a PWM cable seems to go with the IR Beacon kit. So, I took the shell off of a PWM cable's male side and left the 0.100" IDC terminals on it. I put those terminals through the PCB board and they held quite well.
As for testing, we used a globe motor as the inline motor so as not to draw too much current on our first try. In the dashboard viewer and debug window, we got a standard reading of 507ish. After grabbing the drive shaft (With Gloves!) we got a spike of 570ish but dropped back down to the standard 507. The globe is very hard to stop and doesn't draw that much current anyway and so that’s the reason for the low spike, but in a few days we should have our chassis done and on the floor so that we can really test the sensor's full ability.
Reminders: Make sure to use a heat sink (And maybe a can of air), Use an iron that is from 700-900F, and test all of your connections...short circuits equals no working sensor.
As for the question of "Where to buy the sensor package?"...WE DON'T KNOW!!! Will someone please post a reply to this, we would like 2 more of them...and if not, what's the voltage rating on the capacitor? 4vdc or 6.3vdc? Good luck all!
