Lynxmotion SSC-32U Servo Controller Board
Electronics Guide
PowerConsiderations
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
Wall Adapter
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
wiring harness.
