Yes in fact thats what we did we have everything going through a DB15 connector..........However the calibration part does not work when connected to the computer through the "custom cable". We have triple checked the wiring. And we have also unplugged the ttl serial converter from the robot controller when trying to calibrate through that. Yet it still doesn't work........everything else works fine. Also, it works when we use the DB9 cable that came in the kit.
