Hi everyone,
I'm trying to do the resistance checks at the end of the control board part.
A lot of the values seem right, but I'm not sure about some of them. Due
to inexperience in kit building and using a DMM, I may just be reading
things wrong (I have built a couple of small kits).
For Q1 collector, Q2 collector, U6 pin 13, U6 pin 14, U8 pin 15 and U8 pin
16, I get a reading of "0L" on my BK Tool Kit model 2704B DMM. This is the
value that's normally displayed when you turn the knob to measure resistance
and have an open circuit (i.e. the test leads aren't connected to anything).
Does this mean I have an open circuit somewhere, or is the 0L mean
infinite resistance (which would be OK on the checks)? The K2 manual says
some DMM's will flash for infinite resistance. I have never seen my DMM
flash, and I can't find anything about flashing or OL in the manual. Or,
are there other places to look to make sure I've done things right?
Everything appears fine based on a visual inspection (to my untrained eyes,
at least).
Otherwise, values for P2 pin 1, U5 OUT, U4 OUT, U3 pin 8, U6 pin 29, U6 pin
30, and U8 pin 2 seem correct. Actually, for P2 pin 1, my DMM starts off in
the negative and then continues to increase at a slow rate. Is this normal?
Thanks for the help.
