Basic information regarding this interface can be found on page 11 of the the Create User Manual. The Create communicates via the computer's serial port.

Connect the Create as shown below using the white serial tether. This tether handles the logic level shifts necessary for the Create to communicate with the computer safely and connects only to the mini-DIN connector on the side of the Create, above the charging port. Note that serial cable extensions may be used to increase the Create's tether length.

It is also important to note that nothing should be connected to the Create's cargo bay port at this time. Connected electronics can interfere with serial communications on the other port.
