Re: Personal Electrical Project Help

An ammeter needs to be in series with the circuit, unlike the voltmeter which needs to be in parallel.

There is also likely another port to use for amperage readings, make sure you switch your lead over.

This page shows the circuit diagrams I didn't want to attempt in ASCII.


Good luck!
