	100	+A configuration is chosen by sliding the switch to the desired communication method on the board. For example, for USB communication, slide the switch towards the XT60 connector until it is in place next to "USB".

	106	+To use the LSS Adapter Board with an Arduino Board, the switch should be in place next to "Arduino", between the "XBee" and "USB" positions. This configuration allows communication with the LSS actuators from an Arduino Board and can be used to build autonomous or semi-autonomous robots. When "Arduino" is selected on the communication switch:
