Power Considerations
TheSSC32Uboarddoesnotreadthebattery’svoltage,andwillcontinuetofunctionevenifa
batteryisbeingdeeplydischarged.Itisuptotheusertoensurethatthepack’svoltageis
maintainedaboveacertainvoltageortherewillbeariskofirreparablydamagingthebattery.
Symptomsthatabatteryisdischargedinclude:
● Servospeedislowerthannormal
● Servoscannotmaintaintheirpositionunderload

Shouldyouwanttopowertheboardusingawalladapterratherthanbatteries,thefollowing
shouldbetakenintoconsideration:
● Awalladaptercanprovideaninfinitesupplyofpower,thoughtheservosshouldnotbe
operatedcontinuouslyformorethanaround30minutes
● Thewalladaptershouldbeabletoprovideenoughcurrent(ratedinamps)forallservos.
● Thepolarityofthebarrelconnectorisnotalwaysevident;besuretoconnectpositiveto
positiveandnegativetonegative/GND.
● SincetheSSC32Udoesnothaveabarrelconnector,anadapterislikelyneeded.We
suggesta2.1mmbarreljacktoscrewterminaladapter,andapairofwires,oraproper
