I can't tell what you mean here. The sensor signals don't go to a PWM port; they go to a DIGITAL I/O port. I can't think of a good reason for any signal to be connected to both a Digital Sidecar and an Analog Breakout. In any case, if you connected both black and white outputs of the Banner sensor to the same wire, you'd always see the result at ground.
