41	41	The LSS adapter allows up to six sets of servos to be connected to the same bus and share the same power supply, which greatly simplifies wiring for more complex robots. For example, the servos used in an 18 degree of freedom hexapod robot can be split into groups of three for each leg.

43		-Each LSS connector on the LSS Adapter is rated for 3A maximum continuous current. Therefore, the maximum number of servos that can be used on each channel/connector will strongly depend on the application and how much current each servo consumes. For example, if an application requires that servos are consuming 500mA (each), 6 LSS can be used on one connector/channel. Please refer to the  LSS - Specifications - Performance Graph to estimate the current consumption based on torque.

69	69	To power the servos, an external power supply (6V to 12V) is needed (more information in Voltage section of the [[LSS - Specifications>>doc:Lynxmotion Smart Servo (LSS).LSS - Specifications.WebHome]]). If both USB and an external power supply are connected at the same time, the external power supply will be automatically selected / preferred in order to power the FTDI chip and Bee module. If the board is supplied with less than 7V, the 5V pins from the internal regulator may supply less than 5V and the adapter may not function properly. The external power supply can be a battery or an AC-to-DC wall adapter with the appropriate barrel to XT60 adapter.

71	71	The four pins of all six connectors on the board are connected to one another. Each connector (on both the board and on each servo) can handle a maximum of 3A. The LSS Adapter is intended to provide sufficient current to all six connectors. In higher current applications, be sure to select a power supply / source which can provide the necessary current for all servos.
