 I&amp;#39;ve connected the PPK and DK as shown below.

&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Update: It&amp;#39;s working! Thank you so much&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: PPK2 unable to show nRF52840DK current draw?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/456514?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 20 Nov 2023 16:17:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:aadcc34f-06ea-4dee-b3b1-2be0672b4cc3</guid><dc:creator>tflonch</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;That was originally enabled when I first started, but then assumed it wasn&amp;#39;t necessary.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The documentation states &amp;quot;&lt;span class="ph cmd"&gt;Toggle &lt;span class="ph uicontrol"&gt;Enable power output&lt;/span&gt; to enable power to the &lt;a title="A manufactured product undergoing testing." href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ug_ppk2/dita_common/glossary/glossary.html#dut"&gt;&lt;dfn class="term abbreviated-form"&gt;DUT&lt;/dfn&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m confused how the PPK provides power output to the DK if I only have connections going to the current measurement pins + ground. Should I not have the DK powered through USB?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regardless, thank you for the tip, I will just stick to your suggestion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: PPK2 unable to show nRF52840DK current draw?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/456367?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 20 Nov 2023 11:10:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:375703f9-7e6c-4b25-91d8-ec5d361e8ff3</guid><dc:creator>haakonsh</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Have you cut the SB40 solder bridge?

&lt;p&gt;Try that before starting any readings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
