Title: Crack first build issues
Post by: lizzyandbandit on July 06, 2020, 11:21:27 AM

On my first build with the Crack and may be stuck.  Is my negative test lead in the correct place for ground buss 12U? Attached are my resistance values and they seem to be off for #4 and #5? I have re-soldered, but didn't seem to make a difference. Thanks for any input!

When your meter says "3" for terminal 1, is there a unit after that?  Is it 3M ohms?  3K ohms?

I left the clip on T1 for a bit and it worked its way down to .254M. T2 = .445M. When I left it clipped on T4 longer, it settled on 186K. T5 = .229M.

OK, those are numbers that are OK and far more descriptive than what you had listed before. 

You might want to go back through the resistances and recheck them just to be sure.
