    So what was the problem? Your resistors are 10k, not 100k. I think the sensors you have are not open collector, since they worked without any resistor which implies they have an internal resistor. Putting the 10k resistor from the output signal to ground reduces the output voltage to the 5V required by the breakout board since it forms a potential divider with the other resistor.
