Re: Testing resistors and GND? Meteor MPU 200 continued.



When you test them in circuit, you may be getting feedback from something
else. LTG :)

Ok, R8 and R9 are:

red, black, black, gold 20 ohms (bob roberts page)

R25 and R26 are:

brown, brown, orange, gold 11kohms (bob roberts page)


So, i disconnected one end of each resistor from the board and took a
reading. R8 and R9 read 10.87kohms. The calc. on Bob Roberts page
syas it should be 11kohms and to me thats close enough. So it must be
good. I wonder though why when i do a continuity test on the
resistor, my tester will give the "buzz" sound?

Just by the name "resistor" I am assuming they act as a filter
basically, only allowing so much through. In the case of R8 and R9,
correct me if i'm wrong but the resistor (resistance) must be so
little that the continuity testor is getting a strong signal allowing
it to buzz.

Basically, the resistors are good and I just did this for nothing.
But atleast I learned something. Hell, if I'm wrong let me know and
just give me a short little explanation of how and why resistors work.

R25 and R26 are dead on 20 ohms. So they must be ok.

Thanks again,

Mike
