Not sure I understood. Do I connect the pressure switch directly with a PWM to the RC?
And I read the pneumatics manual now, helped a bunch

EDIT:
OK, I searched a bit and found out that I'm supposed to connect the pressure switch to a PWM cable, and connect only the white (signal) and black (ground) connections. Is that right?
Should I cut the red connection and insulate it?
