How trottle input by wire?

I've got 2 VESC's 6 MKIII and will use them to control my BLDC Motors for boat (katamaran) drive use. At moment I'm not interested in radio control and will input speed control signal via wire. After a lot of reading I didn't find what pins to use for it. Please be patient with me - I'm an old guy with some technical knowlegde but not on electronics. Is the connector line signed "COMM" the right one? Which pins are to use? Additional question: Trampa says on its website "- 5V 1A output for external electronics - 3.3V 0,5A output for external electronics" what pins are to use for this purpose? Thank you in advance. Günter

You want to use a ADC throttle, on the ADC pins. The throttle connects to ADC, GND and 3.3V. 

A second ADC throttle can be used for braking or reverse.

Thank you frank!
As to my 2nd question:
Additional question: Trampa says on its website "- 5V 1A output for external electronics - 3.3V 0,5A output for external electronics" what pins are to use for this purpose?
Every pin which ist marked "5V" resp. VCC (for 3.3V)?
Thank you in advance. Günter
