Title: Quickie 1.1 A side no resistance
Post by: lnperron on August 15, 2014, 06:14:49 AM: Hi everyone I need some help. I am getting 0 resistance at 11 and 12 on the selector switch, A1, A7 and at terminal 4. B side checks out fine at 1.07. I have gone over the wiring several time and checked everything I can think of. Any ideas?

Post by: fullheadofnothing on August 15, 2014, 11:20:16 AM: So you are saying if you fully remove the resistor from the circuit, it measures 1.07KÎ©. When it is soldered between two terminals, it measures "nothing?" Can you clarify what nothing is? Do you mean 0Î© (like when you touch the probes together) or over limit (like if your probes aren't touching anything).

Also, please post pictures of your build so we can try to see what might be going on?

Post by: lnperron on August 15, 2014, 02:28:18 PM: I get 1.07 on the B side 9 to 10. on the A side I get what my meter shows at 1. which is what I get when the probes are not touching.

:o

Post by: lnperron on August 16, 2014, 06:27:01 AM: OK I got this problem corrected. As I expected stupidity on my part (wrong resistor). Anyway resistance is correct now. Thanks for the assistance.
