Testing trailer brake controller....
Been working on this for days. I'm about ready to start screaming. (FYI, I am not in a good mood and any trolls looking to unload shaming or sarcasm or just generally embark on some kind of self-serv...

the voltage just sees the output of the controller, not if it is actually getting anywhere, current/amps will tell you how much the brakes are drawing and the are connected.
with the low voltage output I am guessing you have an inertia controller and this won't tell anything by using the brake pedal while stopped. Does the controller have a manual control? if so try that. I would expect at least a few volts
I have not looked at the electric brakes yet but be careful applying power without the drums on, it is possible they could over travel and come apart or break. I would place the drum on and hold it while someone applies the manual lever, the drum should tighten up when applied.
I suspect the iPhone compass would work with GPS instead of magnets
