Here is the wiring from the diagram in plain terms
Find the two wires that go toward the center of the hi hat (if you remove the foam you can see the two rings of the peizo) Those wires go to the P connectors. (P = Peizo). Find the two wires that go toward the edge of the hi hat (switch). Those go to the S connectors (S = Switch).
If you put the Hi Hat board so you are looking at the back of it (ie: not the plug side) you should see:
S2- goes to switch (edge wires)
PP - goes to peizo (center wires)
S3 - nothing hooked up
S1 - nothing hooked up
PN - goes to peizo (center wires)
SN - goes to switch (edge wires)
as far as I know it only matters you keep switch and peizo wires separate.
Thanks to Manfred for the help. I hope this makes it clear. Just an FYI I hooked it up exactly as shown and it did not work (edge was making a full volume it every time.) I took it apart and re-checked everything... looked right so I put it back together and it worked. This thing is very picky. I extended the wires by splicing some in (to make it easier to solder). Messed it up for whatever reason and it just acted erratically. Took the wires out. Worked.
ALSO.. I was blowing Hall sensors on a weekly basis before I started the following practice:
ALWAYS plug the hihat in with the module powered ON (yes on). Make sure the volume is turned down on everything your using.. then plug it in. Do the same for removing the plug.. remove it live with the volume off. Every Hall sensor I blew was due to the power going out while using it. Since I have started this practice (more than 6 years ago) it has worked fine.
