I Don't understand the wire puzzle.
I understand that it has something to do with the power meter. but there's one I can't figure out, but there's also another one that I solved, but it didn't trigger until I dropped power from the meter. ELI5?

I think the PDF manual has a section on it, but basically you want the power to land between the two blue lights on the bar.

Theres a couple switches and dials you can flip on the board. Each wire may also supply more or less power than the other indicated by the lights on the wires outlet.

you have two type of outputs +1 and +2
splitters will (duh) split output but each line will remain power

In my experience, don't try to count it at first, usually there is a totally false way and an obvious one.

Focus more on those outputs.

DON'T WORRY BUD I AM HERE TO HELP, first you just gotta set the meter right, but not for that other one you solved, it won't first unless you drop the power, which if you weren't doing for the other one it may have already not triggered, so when you are filling the power meter up, just make sure you're connecting the cables in a way that solves the puzzle, that way it won't not trigger like the other one you mentioned

The door requires a specific amount of power, try to wire the correct amount between the two blue lights. The original interface was not affected by graphic clutter.

Thanks for the help everyone!

To clarify:
1- the target power is any level between the blue markers
2- input socket power is equal to the number of lights on the plug (one or two)
3- all power is additive (not multiplied or divided)
4- each glowing line carries ALL the power input to it from every previous line
5- combiners add all the levels of the inputs together (if three ones and a two combine, the output power is now five)
6- splitters don't split power, they duplicate it on two lines (if 5 power is going in, then each of the two lines going out carries 5 power)

At that point, it's a question of math. You can work it out if intuition doesn't get you there.
