What's in the box with a RobStride motor? Do I still need a USB-to-CAN adapter?

Ordering my first RobStride actuator. The product page mentions cables but I'm not sure what's actually included versus what I need to buy separately to talk to it from my laptop.

A single motor purchase includes:

Power cable (included): supplies power to the motor.
CAN debugging cable (included): connects to the motor's CAN interface for communication and debugging.

What is not included is the USB-to-CAN module, sold separately. It converts your computer's USB port into a CAN bus interface so the PC can talk directly to motors using CAN / CAN FD. If you plan to configure or drive the motor from a laptop, you will want one.
