thanks andy!

it works fine... it's just that on the 10A input, i can't measure voltage.
it's in the design. the other positive input can only handle a 450 mA
current, also in the design... obviously, this is not enough for what i'm
using it for now.

maybe i will try your suggestion of the wire link... at what point is
current dangerous for the p3? i noticed my voltage regulator getting
*very* hot during all this...

uhhhh... :) oops. though handy with a soldering iron, i am almost
completely ignorant about electronics...

i will check that, thanks.
