Resistance Check on 52

(1/3) > >>

Emoreigns:
Good Morning,

My build on the BeePre has been going pretty smoothly up until now- I made it to the resistance check on page 52, but have come to a stop here. I am not getting any reading with my meter for either of the resistance checks- It is just showing the 0L reading, which I believe means the circuit isn't completed?  There are some joints that are not soldered yet, so perhaps those are the problem? My multimeter works fine for testing resistors, so I don't believe that it is the problem. I've attached a couple pictures. I appreciate the help as always! Am I just overlooking something here?

kgoss:
0L is actually over limit. If you don’t have an auto ranging meter you need to increase the range to one greater than the resistance you are measuring. To test your meter just measure a known value resistor out of the circuit and see if you get the correct value. Just be aware the value you read might not be exactly right because of part tolerances. But it should be very close.

Emoreigns:
Thanks Ken-

The value for A1 and A4 are supposed to be 445 ohms each- So I had my multimeter set to 4000- I(t goes 400,4000,40000) So anyways, the A1 terminal is right on 445 ohms, but I wasn't getting a reading on A4. I took your advise and cranked it up to 40000k and now it is reading 25.03-

It was getting late when I soldered this, and I've already found a couple joints that weren't soldered that should have been. Thanks for the tip on the meeting though- I knew it was something simple, but just couldn't put my finger on it. Still very much a soldering noob-  Hopefully I can find what the issue is tonight-

Paul Birkeland:
You may just need to crimp the unsoldered ends of those resistors down a little bit may help pull that reading into spec.

Emoreigns:
I crimped those resistors down as best as possible- Still not getting a proper reading… still not reading at 4000, and coming in at 25.0 on 40000 ohm setting. My readings seem steady elsewhere.
