K3 Anticipation- Preparation

It's getting pretty close to K3 delivery time!!!

I'm in the second batch delivery, I hope...

I would really, really like to be ready to 'FLY' and just plug in and
play with my K3... after the minimal "build" of course.

I'm trying to have all my interface cables available and ready to GO!

Please can someone advise precisely what cabling/connectors are
required to do this??

Deni,

A standard DE9 computer serial cable will do the job.

Unlike the K2, the connector for the computer connection is not shared
with other functions.

And a power cable. Am I right that the Anderson Power Pole polarity
arrangement is the same as the K2 and that the pin size is the same?

Re: K3 Anticipation- Preparation

Bruce,

There is one nice thing about the Anderson Power Poles - they will mate
together properly if they are assembled using the 'standard'
configuration. The K2 and K3 use the same configuration as the ARES
'standard'.
