69 69  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.

71 71  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.

127 127  To use the LSS Adapter Board with a standard computer, laptop or Raspberry Pi through USB, the switch should be set to "USB" mode. This configuration allows communication with the LSS actuators by sending serial commands from a USB host device via the FTDI chip. When USB is selected on the communication switch, the FTDI Rx is connected to the LSS actuator's Tx and FTDI Tx is connected to the LSS actuator's Rx. The XBEE-USB jumpers do NOT need to be in place.
