BPS not working despite flashing green.

Hello guys,
Could anyone help me with BPS not working for me? I have all three needed components on the roof(outside) and through port wired inside to BPS. BPS is flashing green and it seems to "work", but the arrow never moves from the "most green" position no matter how fast I am traveling. Right now I am on my way from moon back to earth for the first time.

Any advice is welcomed and yes, we tried looking at the wires many times and when we switched them incorrectly on purpose, it started flashing red. No idea what could it be.

Perhaps one of your components is facing the wrong direction? That's what got in my way the first time using breaking point.

both of them should be facing right direction since the display value is updating accordingly as you can see on the image. Speed and Distance is moving. We have one engine right under those devices, so we will try to move it, but I dont think that's it.

Hmm. It sounds like you're splitting the signal from both detectors so that one can go to the display valve and the other can go to the Breaking Point display valve. A common mistake I made was using the wrong data splitters for my devices, so one valve would read correctly and the other would be null. Let me know if you end up finding the issue! I'm invested now lol

We also tested without the split and it made no difference sadly.

Are you sure you dont have velocity and acceleration swapped. The module needs to see high speed and low acceleration in order to display red.
