Connect the Green, Blue, Purple wire to the Left Sensor and the Grey, White, Black cable to 
the Right Sensor 

** Note some sensors have the pins in order 5V, Signal, Gnd; other have them in order 
Signal, 5V, Gnd - make sure you know which wire colour is connected to which. 

 

Connect the sensors to the Pirocon or iBoost64 (shown below) 

•

 

Left sensor to Pin 12 (marked x12 or #18) 

•

 

Right sensor to Pin 13 (marked x13 or #27)
