Hi! I Didn’t find anything about this in the manual or on this forum and i’d rather not see my controller go up in smoke… Is there a current-limitation for connecting some heavy (-ier) servo’s to the SSC32? For example using Hitecs HS-805BB and HS-755HB, possibly more of each.
Thanks.

The SSC-32 or any other servo controller for that matter only sends positioning pulses. There is no hardware to limit any current, and there doesn’t need to be. The servo will only draw the required amount of current to do the job it needs to do. The VS connector is where you apply power for the servos. This is a straight through connection from battery or power supply directly to the servos power leads. The VL is where you attach the logic supply. Because logic and servo voltage are completely separate there is no way the servo current will damage the SSC-32’s circuitry. This of course holds true as long as there are no wiring errors, reverse voltage to the servo, or mechanical issues, locking the output shaft and commanding the servo to move.
So don’t worry, you can control many 755’s or 805’s as you want. If it’s more than 8 then I would divide them evenly between the 0-15 bank, and the 16-31 bank.
Ok thanks, just wanted to make sure… the 755 actually comes with a warning and signal/power-splitter cable to connect it directly to the battery. Good thing to know i can connect 32 of these 755s and make them all draw 0.8A and not see the controller go up in smoke (this is not what i will actually do 
).
So long as you run separate power wires to the two VS inputs I don’t see a problem. Usually not all servos will draw max at the same time. If you do expect this to occur the you can run power directly to the servos using modified connectors.
