Default RE: Volt meter


ORIGINAL: sirrom

Forgive me for asking this because I know the answer is very simple but I can't seem to remember how to do this. I currently own a very nice volt meter that I would like to setup to monitor the voltage that my servos draw. I just can't remember how to wire it up in series with my servos so that I can read the voltage. Call me stupid but I truly cant remember.


Thanks in advance.

If you really care about the voltage, then you do NOT connect the meter in series - you connect it in parallel ; you only connect in series for measuring the current, not the voltage.
