Fancy :clap: Looks a little like the dashboard of a high tech German SUV :whistle: On the other hand, when I finally get my track up and since I do everything on a shoestring and it's only going to be 2 lanes, I'm going to use my old HO Model RR double control and just put in test points for each lane and use my trusty old (analog) meters.

Have you checked that each of those gauges reads the same value for the same input voltage? That is hook up the PM supply to gauge #1. Does it read 12.1V when the PM is 12V. Now hook up gauge #2 and then gauge #3. Did they all read the same voltage? That is 12.1V?

Just a thought as you don't know what sort of accuracy specs those gauges have.

I tested some. Only had a few of them but they were all identical.

Good that you are showing this again, new folks just joining us might want to know.
