I would like to connect a Multiplus 12/800 (new one) to a Raspberry Pi Venus.

What cable would I require?

Will only an Interface MK3-USB work or can I use a VE.Direct to USB interface cable?

Also, would I be able to connect a Smarsolar MPPT to the same RPi, using a VE.Direct to USB interface cable?

Venus OS Raspberry Pi VE.Direct MK3
