"Does it matter if the meter is on the + or - side?"
The reason I asked was to determine whether or not I could put the
meter between the Direction Switch and the Motor. Since the switch (I
assume) reverses polarity, I now know it'll only work there in one
direction.
I convinced myself that I can get away with a 5A meter instead of ten,
but now that I see my motor is rated at 3A (regardless of voltage),
I'm looking at a 3A one with a red over-range scale.
Do you think this one would work? I think it would look pretty good
mounted in the side of the electronics box (and we all know it's all
about aesthetics.) I'd mount a SPDT switch with it to turn it off when
I'm not using it just in case it doesn't like being on for long periods.
