you need a serial cable... you only need a serial-to-USB adapter cable if you don't have a serial port on your PC... but either way, it doesn't come with the power adapter or the serial cable... you have to purchase those separately.

You can either purchase the "PC Interface Kit" from a Diablosport dealer (part number U7777), or you can get them from Radio Shack...

Serial Cable:
Standard straight-through DB9 (9-pin to 9-pin) RS232C serial cable (6 foot cable is more than enough). Check your computer to see if you have a male or a female port on the back, as some are different. You will need a male end to go into your Predator.
(Radio Shack Part # 26-117, 6-ft DB9 male to DB9 female shielded cable.)


Power Adapter:
CLASS 2 TRANSFORMER
OUTPUT : 12VDC 1000mA (1 Amp)(Radio Shack Part # 273-1776)
Note: Plug Tip is 2.5mm x 5.5mm, female, and center is positive.
(Radio Shack Part # 273-1717)

I guess I was afraid of changing the parameters without knowing what i was doing. Now that I've read up on it and somewhat understand it I am planning on doing some adjustments.
