>> Or better yet use an ammeter. This is exactly how multimeters work in >> current mode. OK, so are you saying the DMM is OK to use as an ammeter for measuring current or I NEED TO USE AN AMMETER ? The thought was the DMM is displaying zero because of the PWM on the circuit. However, I did put a resistor in series and read zero volatage, which agrees with the zero current(when PWM is applied). 1.3volts with a 1 ohm resistor, which agrees with the 1.3 amps with PWM off. So, their is something wrong with the circuit. >> No 2 amps would result in 4 watts using the 1 ohm resistor in your >> example. Power = voltage x current = V**2 / R = I**2 * R. OK, I have 10 watt resistors so I am covered. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY! [EE]:,[OT]: ->Other [BUY]:,[AD]: ->Ads
