Hey @simoncrewe! I also found it strange. I also thought it should read 5 volts.simoncrewe wrote: ↑Fri Nov 11, 2022 10:47 am If you are getting 10 volts at the pins the cable is faulty. The little black box steps the 12 volt supply down to 5 volts for the XT.
Just noticed! the red lead on your multimeter is in the wrong hole! it should be on 'DC' not AC. Move it & retry.
I believe the red lead is connected the right place, it can detect up to 1000V DC. The 10ADC port is to detect more than 200mA (up to 10A in DC), which is not the case.
