Be careful on the SSC-32 board! I am also not in front of my board, but seem to recall that the board itself will run off of 5vdc to 9vdc, but the servos need either 5vdc or 6vdc.

I think if you hook up 9vdc and run everything off that, you will burn up servos that are not designed for 9VDC.

If your DC voltage source is 5VDC or 6VDC or somewhere inbetween, there should not be a problem linking all the jumpers together and running just one power source ASSUMING that the power source provides enough current to run the number of servos you are using.

Don't hook up a 300ma wallwart and expect it to run the board and 20 servos. Get something that has at least a couple of amps output.

If you are just running 3 or 4 servos, you don't need as much.

Double check the specs on the voltage requirements for the SSC-32 AND the servos first. I am doing this from memory.

BTW, that is Good News Gym Ghost!!!!
