For measuring voltages and current while being one step removed from high voltage, I think the INA226 or INA219 is the easiest to use.
If you truly wish to isolate the pixl from the rest of the van circuitry, you can get one of those split core sensors like https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11005 which will measure current, but not voltage. You can still use the INA226 for that though, without having to complete the circuit (and theoretically saving you from possible over voltages).
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
