Pat,
You missed another resource that so many teams miss or just glance over and that is the "First Guidlines Tips and Practices." on the First website. From that document..."As seen in the figure above, two PWM cables are needed to interconnect the module. One cable is
used to supply 12Vdc from the sensor distribution circuit breaker. The other PWM cable connects to
an available digital input on the Robot controller to deliver the sensed pulse counts from the “S” port
and receive +5V from the RC unit. “G” is always the ground connection." Sensors that require 12 volts can be supplied from a common 20 amp fuse by tying all sensor power wires together and using the same 20 amp fuse output per <R91> You must protect the power feed to Custom Circuits and Additional
Electronics with a 20A Circuit Breaker.
