# Connecting a Console Cable
|
||||
|
||||
Connecting your Pi to another computer via a console cable allows you to setup or debug a Raspberry Pi without having to connect a display, keyboard (and optionally a mouse). The Lollipop Cloud project provides [Raspian images](https://dl.lollipopcloud.solutions/raspbian/) with support for the Serial Console already enabled.

## Using the Adafruit USB Console Cable
|
||||
|
||||
Adafruit sells a [USB to TTL Serial Cable/Console Cable for Raspberry Pi](https://www.adafruit.com/product/954) and has a tutorial on installing the necessary drivers. With the Lollipop Raspian image installed onto an SD Card, jump into the tutorial to install drivers for [macOS](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-5-using-a-console-cable/software-installation-mac), [Windows](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-5-using-a-console-cable/software-installation-windows), or [Linux](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-5-using-a-console-cable/software-installation-linux).
|
||||
|
||||
If you are setting up your Pi for the first time, you can run `sudo raspi-conf` after successfully connecting the cable.
