I'm not sure what the problem is that you've seen. The 37-pin cables we received can be secured to the Digital Sidecar just fine. The 4-40 standoffs that came with the control system for that purpose are
exactly the right size. No extenders should be necessary.
We're actually using a shorter and lighter ribbon cable on our robot, but we're still fastening its connector to the Digital Sidecar using the provided standoffs.
