These inductive sensors are supposed to have transistor outputs, and therefore should traditionally be hooked up in a different way than i'm showing in the video. However, the internal circuitry of these sensors is set up in a way that would damage our electronics if connected like that, so using the voltage divider is the better choice in the end.
So for 12V, using a pair of identical 10k (or 15k) resistors instead of one 10k and one 15k should give voltages closer to 5V (check with a multimeter), but the mentioned 10k and 15k combo works well, too.
8.1k and 22k for 24V.

Simply connect the sensor output directly to the input and supply the sensor from 5V, for example from the endstop or servo pins!
