No problem at all. You connect two boards to the same serial line and there is
a jumper on the SSC which configures it for either servos 0-7 or servos 8-15.
When you send a command to set servo 15 to position 87 it "does the right
thing". The board takes commands which are basically a binary 255 followed by
the servo number, followed by a number between 0 and 254 which sets the pulse
width.
