  • Connect board VIN (red wire) to Arduino 5V if you are running a 5V board Arduino (Mega, etc.). If your board is 3V, connect to that instead.
  • Connect board GND (black wire) to Arduino GND
  • Connect board SCL (white wire) to Arduino SCL
  • Connect board SDA (blue wire) to Arduino SDA
  • Connect Vin+ to the positive terminal of the power supply for the circuit under test
  • Connect Vin- to the positive terminal or lead of the load
