I understand this. I know how I am going to power the sensor. My question is only about the signal pin.
For the PWM voltage level, you may have a look at this topic:
Relay voltage? - #4 by Kravos
This topic concerns output functions, but it is not helpful to me, since I am using the GPIO / AUX signal pins as inputs. I think I will do some testing to see if the 3.3V is present in the pin after it is configured as an input.
