Re: CAN Cables

We found most of our supplies at our local ACE hardware store, including wire, connectors, and crimpers. Be aware that the crimpers you need will be six conductor crimpers. One of the connectors (the one with the serial cable) must be 6 wire. The rest can be four wire. This mistake wasted several days while we had bad connections on our serial cable.
