Cut one of the three-wire PWM extension cables in half. One half will have the appropriate connector for the Digital Sidecar's I/O pins. Carefully tuck the cable's black and red wires out of the way, covering the ends with electrical tape so they don't contact anything. Splice the cable's white wire to the sensor's signal.

Or you can do what we typically do and make your own connector. Crimp the appropriate kind of female pin onto the sensor's signal wire and insert it into the appropriate kind of servo-style connector housing. We're running low on parts and should probably order more from a place like Hansen Hobbies.
