Title: Bad resistance readings
Post by: zlobby on March 30, 2011, 04:42:05 AM

I "finished" building my crack today, but when i went to do the resistance check, I am getting bad readings at terminal 14 and 20.  They are both reading 5.3k, when they should be reading zero... Any ideas?

Anyone?  I re soldered all the connections and still the same.

Are you connecting the black lead of your DMM to terminal 12 as suggested in the manual? If you trace the wires you can see that 12 is connected to 14, and 14 to 20 by black wires. Ipso facto there should be essentially zero ohms between any of those terminals. Double check those connections and the orientation of the stripe on each of the electrolytic capacitors.
