Hi all, happy new year
I have a power supply I want to add a current meter to. The power supply has a 5VDC output I'll use for the meter, and a variable DC output. The meter is a common LED panel meter that measures voltage drop across inputs; it has a common ground with it's supply and the voltage being measured.
How can I hook this up to measure current drawn from the variable power supply? I understand how to create a shunt and set it up to measure a certain voltage range. Just not how to hook it up with a common ground...
TIA
