49	49	The FTDI chip can be powered through the on-board USB or with an external power supply through the XT60 connector. The 5V from the USB will only power the FTDI chip and the XBee compatible wireless module (if inserted) and won't power the servos. To power the servos, an external power supply (6V to 12V) is needed (more information in the "LSS - Electrical" section). If both USB and external power supply are connected at the same time, the external power supply will be automatically selected to power the FTDI chip and XBee module if it's higher than 7V. The external power supply can be a battery or an AC-to-DC wall adapter with the appropriate barrel to XT60 converter (more information in "[[LSS - Electrical>>doc:LSS - Electrical.WebHome||title="LSS Electrical"]]" section).

51		-The adapter can operate on an external supply from 7V to 25V DC. Note however that the LSS servos are intended to operate at between 6V and 12V. 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. Using more than 25V may damage the 5V regulator.

53	53	**Arduino :** In the case where the LSS Adapter is stacked on top of an Arduino Board, the Arduino board can be powered from the Vin pin which is directly connected to the external supply voltage of the LSS Adapter. If the Arduino Board is powered separately via another external power supply (ex barrel connector), the “Vin cut” solder bridge on the bottom of the LSS Adapter Board needs to be cut. The ‘“Vin cut” solder bridge doesn’t need to be cut if the Arduino is powered through USB.
