specific com port (King)

[kec-10238]

I have not installed the drivers yet or plugged anything in. Was wondering if the board requires a certain com port # (3 seems to be the favorite from posts i've seen). Reason asking - checked my device manager (win xp) and I have my 2 serial ports dedicated to com 3 and com4 (for my plotters).

homing kit includes 8 spade connectors - I only see a use for 6 of them - did I miss something (2 for each set of black/red wire - 3 wire sets)

The 8 spade connectors are in case you botch crimping two of them.

The serial ports usually just assign consecutively. It doesn't require a particular number. I think the #3 thing is just coincidence because most people have a mouse and probably one other device that they connect.

Hope that helps.
