There are two ways to compensate for the voltage dropoff. The easiest
way is to connect +5 V DC and ground from the host controller to pins 2
and 1 of header P1 on the last expansion board. Another solution, which
can approximately double the number of boards that could otherwise be
connected to a single controller, is a Y cable available from Z-World.
Figure C-2 illustrates the use of the Y cable.
