Wiring a pressure transducer

Hello.

I recently discovered that we have a pressure transducer from the 2004 kop lying around, completely unused. I was able to find the spec sheet for the transducer here: http://team358.org/files/pneumatic/5...sureSensor.pdf

I believe I am to connect this via pwm to the analog breakout; however, I found that the ports on the breakout supply 5v at .25 amps, whereas the transducer is rated for 8 mA at best. Do I need to add a resistor in parallel from the power to reduce current, or am I missing something obvious here?
