Hello, I am trying to connect a DC Voltage Source to four resistors and those resistors to a current measurement and then display this value. Even though the DC Voltage Source and the resistors are all from Simscape, they won't connect. It comes up with a red dotted line and a purple circle. The Current measurement also wont connect to the resistors. I've tried using PS->S and S-> PS converters but this doesn't help either. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Make sure both of these blocks come from the same block library.
Unfortunately, there are "DC Voltage Source" and "Current Measurement" blocks in both Simscape Foundation and in Simscape Power Systems Specialized Technology libraries.
I'd suggest going to the Simscape > Foundation > Electrical library and grabbing all the blocks from there.
BTW: If you're using one of the latest versions, you can easily tell where they're from because the Simscape blocks will be colored blue whereas the Power Systems ones are not colored.

you can use "ps-simulink" and "simulink-ps" converters for that purpose.
And for a lot of cases I think you will also need a voltage sensor block
