Re: System Battery Voltage is wrong

The series vs parallel wiring thing is a (hopefully) a terminology question.

You want parallel: One wire comes out of the PD, is split in two and feeds either breakout independently. The return path is wired similarly.

In series, one wire comes out of the PD and goes to the first breakout. The return line of this then goes to the power line of the next breakout. The return line of the second breakout then goes back to the return on the PD.

In parallel, the modules see the same voltage and different currents.

In series, the modules see the same current and different voltages.



The Lucas - since he is seeing this on the Driver Station, I don't think this is the case. If he was seeing this on an analog channel I'd agree completely.
