wiring an ammeter
Posted: Sun Aug 26, 2012 8:19 pm
Hi,
I'm a new hobbist to electronics. I have made a bench PSU out of an old computer ATX. The problem I'm having is wiring an ammeter to the three out-power post's im using. I've wired the three outputs (3.5v, 5v, and 12v,) through a BBM rotory switch but how can I wire an ammeter in series to all three outs. Every time I try the ammeter feeds the other two posts with the supply voltage.
I'm stuck and think I'm missing somthing simple here.
THanks Chris.
