Burned out PSC's, schematic?

bulkhead

I'm looking for a schematic for the Parallax Servo Controller (USB-PSC) found here parallax.com/Store/Accessories/MotorServoControllers/tabid/160/ProductID/346/List/1/Default.aspx?SortField=ProductName,ProductName.

In particular, I'd like to know whether the power terminals connect only and directly to the individual servo ports. Where can I find this information? Thanks.

I don't have the schematic handy (not sure I ever saw one for the USB PSC), but the -Vin (servo power) and Vss (logic ground) are tied together on the board, else it wouldn't work

Page 9 of the Serial Servo Controller (the #28023, they refer to in the writeup)Manual may also help:

Good luck...it's sketchy, at best.
