37	37	The LSS Adapter uses the FT232RL FTDI chip to convert USB to UART. Most operating systems will automatically detect the FTDI chip and install the correct VCP drivers. In case this is not done automatically, VCP drivers for the FT232RL chip can be downloaded through [[this link>>url:http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm||style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"]] (choose the VCP driver which corresponds to your operating system).

95	95	To use the LSS Adapter Board with a Raspberry Pi or a standard computer / laptop through USB, the switch should be on **position 3**. This configuration allows controlling LSS Servos manually by sending serial commands from a computer or a Raspberry Pi via USB.
96	96	When USB (position 3) is selected on the communication switch, the FTDI Rx serial pin is connected to the LSS Servo Tx pin and FTDI Tx serial pin is connected to the LSS Servo Rx pin. The mounting holes for the LSS Adapter are compatible with the Raspberry Pi 2 / 3.
