The sensor outputs do not source anything. They will never have a voltage greater than what they are connected to. If you connect LO or DO to the Digital Sidecar, it will either have 5 volts (when inactive) or zero volts (when active) on the output.

I have not looked at the sensors tech sheets yet but will sure err on the side of caution.

If you haven't looked at the documentation, you shouldn't be giving advice about how to use things.

Of course one way to find out is to look at the 'sample code' and see where the information for the sensors is read.

It reads it from the Digital Sidecar DIO pins.
