I think what he meant is that they used a PWM cable, since it has three wires and hooked up each of the wires to a different ribbon wire, then connected the PWM cable to all signals on the digital input. The same way we did it. And the fourth command ribbon wire was on a seperate PWM cable going to a fourth digital signal input.
