Some questions about powering modules, and sequencing

Hey, welcome!
Check out this thread about the microbus:

What i do is i get connect em up with IDC socket connectors and ribbon cables. Links in there show you where you can buy em. The microbus has 2x8 (16pin) connections, but kosmo modules and most eurorack uses only the 10 pins.

What i do:
I put this on the microbus:

I put this on the modules:

Grab some of these:

And these:

And several feet of 10 conductor ribbon cables:

Then, you make a ribbon cable with one end is 16 pin, and the other is 10 pin. making sure the orientation matches what you expect to plug into. here is a reference for the pins:

Basically, just make sure you know where the +12v and -12v are going to be.

You can make your own sequencer, you can buy a beatstep, keystep, or keystep pro, all those will work for you. I recommend the beatstep or keystep pro. The OG Keystep isnt a bad option either. All those have an internal clock so you good.
