I run a very ambitious project for a theater production: making 13 characters (dummies) moving… I use 23 Hitech servo all controlled by a ssc-32 and programmed with VSA.
Here is my main concern: I draw lots of current ! I used a 6 amps-6 volts power supply for the whole thing. It’s just not enough !
What is the maximum amp draw that a ssc-32 can support ? Can i go with a regulated power supply that is rated for 25 amps without killing the ssc-32 ?
By the way, everything is wired (no battery) for 120v using regulated power supply.
each side, that is VS1 and VS2, will support about 15A. If you are going to use a 25A supply I would strongly recommend you remove the VS2=VS1 jumpers on the SSC-32 and bring two pair of wires from the supply into VS1 and VS2 individually. This way each terminal block only needs to handle the 15A on it’s side. Also consider that while the terminal blocks and traces on the board may support 15A ok it is highly unlikely the pins and jumper shunt used to bridge the two sides together will take that much current and be happy about it. My recollection is those type of pin headers are only rated for about 3A continuous.
