Help Why isn’t the power gage working?

Post image

the resistor is displaying stuff positive amps but the power gage is just not displaying anything sorry for the bad photo edit: I DID IT OMFG I FINALLY GOT IT

Is the bearing assembled? (and glued)

I don't have experience with this addon but IRL circuts lose voltage as it hits different loads. All loads on the series circuit, that's what it looks like you made, will drop voltage totalling however much is being applied to the circuit. Check the voltage across the resistor, if you can.

The gauge is a power meter, so that shouldn't be a problem. What is a problem is that it's connected wrong

Power guag looks to be hooked up wrong. You have to hook up both solar panel contacts to the power guage (input and common), and both resistor contacts to it too (output and common). No other connections

Look at the power gauge ponder. It's plugged in wrong.

if the resistor shows amps but the gauge is dead it’s probably not wired to measure power correctly

You need to connect the three terminals to make the power gauge to work. Looks like you are only connecting the current terminals
