How to connect DSM501A sensor to Arduino MKR1000

Other Hardware Sensors

Hello, everyone. I am new one with Arduino and microcontrollers. I want to connect few sensors to my Arduino MKR1000, but problem is that MKR1000's operating voltage = 3.3v. So, to connect sensors which works on 5V, i made circuit devider scheme. That scheme is normally works and i can see actual data. Now, my question is how to connect DSM501A sensor to MKR1000, this sensor has 2 PWM output signals. Should i made circuit devider scheme for this connection too? Or maybe somebody did this and have another way to connect this sensor to MKR1000?

Thank you for reading my question.

I love your schematic but past experience tells me I am reading a reflection from the window! The best solution is get a level translator they are reliable and work well. In the long run they will be much cheaper if you value your time. The resistor divider scheme is flakey at best. You are working at the thresholds of the devices with no cushion.
