<p>I'm new to lego.  Trying to connect the powerpack 39k3 from 42009 Crane to a 417j3 motor.  Is a 8528 Converter Cables for Mindstorms NXT the right cable?  </p>

<p>Is there a way to hack a phone connector onto a power cable?  Where would I find the wiring diagram?</p>

<p>Many thanks,</p>

<p>Joe</p>

Hi Joetest - I assume the powerpack you're referring to is [4506078: Batterybox 4X11X7](http://brickset.com/parts/4506078) - but I'm not sure which motor you mean - where did you get the part numbers from? In which case, it's probably a duplicate of [How to use Power Functions with Mindstorms EV3?](http://bricks.stackexchange.com/q/2325/56)

I'm new to lego. Trying to connect the powerpack 39k3 from 42009 Crane to a 417j3 motor. Is a 8528 Converter Cables for Mindstorms NXT the right cable?

Is there a way to hack a phone connector onto a power cable? Where would I find the wiring diagram?

Many thanks,
