STECS Max: How to connect the STEM?

I watched the STECS combination video, but perhaps I missed something.

When creating the STECS Standard combination, the STEM is directly wired into the STECS base. But in the Max configuration, I only see the STEM being attached to the MFH. So how does the STEM get wired to the STECS (or PC, though I only see one USB cable included on the product page)?

Oh, and speaking of the product page listing, what base plate(s), if any, are included with the STECS Max? And is there a way to order those that are not included?

Thank you again! :-D

I believe it is a USB C to JST similar to the GNX modules that go on an MFH.
USB C SBUS on the front of the STECS

No idea about the plates and being able to purchase them individually at some point or not.

Thank you. I'm just trying to make sure I'll order everything I need if I choose to go from Max to Standard configuration, haha.

Also, would the STEM USB-C go to the STECS JST? I don't have any experience with GNX modules, I'm afraid. I only just received my first VKB product recently, the Gunfighter MkIV.

No I was misthinking it before for a Vertical mount like on MAX.
STEM vertical mounted uses UCB-C to UCB-C to connect to the STECS.
I realized it in another convo on it around the time I had posted in here.

It should come with the necessary cable though if bought as a MAX.

The Standard version uses the internal JST to JST cable to connect the STEM to the STECS.

Sorry about the confusion on that.

No worries, and thank you. I saw the BUS port on the front of the STECS, so it's all making sense now, haha!

So I'll just keep my eyes open for the large (Standard) base plate, then I'll be all set! :-)
