Connecting Thingy:53 to PPK2 Using the PCA64142 Board

How can we connect the Thingy:53 to the PPK2 using the included PCA64142 current measurement board, for both Source Meter and Ampere Meter modes?

  1. The PCA64142 board has a 10-pin (3V3 -GND). Which specific pins should be connected to the PPK2 to measure Thingy:53's power consumption accurately?

  2. It's mentioned that PPK2’s logic port (VDD-D0) can be used to track activity like data transmission. How can we connect this logic port to the Thingy:53 through the PCA64142 board? If that’s not possible directly, how should we wire the Thingy:53, nRF5340 DK, and PPK2 together?
    Lastly, is it necessary to disconnect the Thingy:53's battery when using the PPK2 in either mode?

If possible, please include the exact pin names and connections required for both modes.
