94		-Using the LSS Adapter Board is fairly simple and user-friendly. The configuration switch on the board allows the user to select one of the following five communication methods. A communication mode is chosen by sliding the switch to the desired position on the board. For example, for USB communication, slide the switch towards the XT60 connector until it is in place next to "USB". The two XBEE to USB jumpers do NOT need to be in place in any communication mode except "USB Explorer".

Note that most 5V wall adapters and portable phone chargers cannot provide sufficient current to power both a Raspberry Pi and several servos.

151	151	The four mounting holes on the LSS adapter line up with the mounting holes of a Raspberry Pi 2 or 3, though it is important to note that the hole diameter of the mounting holes on a Raspberry Pi are 2.5mm, whereas the mounting hole diameter on the LSS Adapter is 3mm. As such, the standard M3 standoffs and screws which are part of the Lynxmotion SES V2 system cannot be used. Standoffs must be sufficiently high in order to clear all pins of the Raspberry Pi.
