Hey! :D
I'm making huge quadropod using 12x Hitec HS-7950Th. I have your controller (https://www.adafruit.com/product/815) controlled by Raspberry Pi 3 B+.
So my question is, can I plug all 12 servos into Adafruit without burning it? If not, how to power servos separately (I mean taking only pwm signal form Adafruit). But from my experience with servos this will make problems, because grounds will not be conected, and servos will go crazy. So how to do it without burning anything?
Anyway thanks
Marcin

Re: Connecting powerful servos to Adafruit controller
With that many large servos, it would be best to power them directly. Run power and ground directly to the servos. Then run ground and PWM/signal connections from the board to the servo.
