I have just finished the assembly of the K2 Control Board and am doing resistance checks, as per assembly instructions. Since I have not done something like this before I am hoping I have interpreted the directions correctly. The directions say to take measurements with respect to ground. I am taking that to mean that after I set my multimeter to an appropriate ohms range, that I touch one test lead to the pin to be tested, and the other test lead to a place on the circuit board that is labeled 'ground'.
Can someone tell me if my interpretation of the directions is correct, and if so, then I have the following readings. I have highlighted in red the readings that do not fall within the expected outcomes.
Any insights would be helpful!
I am using a Radio Shack DMM.
Pin Tested Should Read What I got
P2 P1 >10k slowly moves to 360k -400k U5 5V pin >2k 13.96k
U4 8V pin 3-7k 3.58k
Q1 Collector >1MOhm no reading
Q2 Collector >1MOhm no reading
U3 Pin 8 >10k 193k
U6 Pin 13 >100k 316k
U6 Pin 14 >100k 326k
U6 Pin 29 70-90k 13.97k
U6 Pin 30 70-90k 0.0 ohms
U8 Pin2 >100k 257k
U8 Pin 15 >100k 245k
U8 Pin 16 >100k 251k
Thanks,
