anatek blue esr not working correctly

Re: anatek blue esr not working correctly

470k resistor my bad figured that out but still don't have that resistor and they are sending me one.

yeah the 220k and 220r has been corrected ...and its 470k not 70k the 4 was very hard to see on pcb ...but still don't have that value so they are sending me that one little 470k 1% waiting on it.....right now yes when i double checked everything i went by the color codes on the bom sheet and tested it with my dmm to verify i corrected the pots and yes they sent me wrong resistors cause at least 5 of them did not match the bom nor did it read the values i needed people make mistakes and in this case it was both of us..

also want to note not to be whatever but the 470 k 1% resistor is supposed to be "yellow violet yellow brown" if you look at the pics that does not exist and the only other blue resistor i have is the calibration one so yeah it was mispackaged it really messed with me but it sorted just waiting for that one lone resistor to come in... i understand how you think i totally put it together wrong well yeah wrong resistors LOL when they sent me the 5% i found the values i needed and corrected them and yes the 220k and 220r has been corrected so that being said there was mistakes on both parts they just threw a monkey wrench in for me that's all ...all is good i will get this beast working....

You DO have a 470k resistor. It is clearly shown in the photo in post #3 (yellow violet black orange brown) as listed on the BOM. Looking at that photo you have ALL the correct resistors, so I am at a loss as to why you think you have 5 wrong values. Nothing has been mispackaged if the resistors match up to their colour codes.

The only thing that I could see wrong was the 2 pots transposed, and the 220R and 220k resistors transposed.

Which 5 resistors do you think were wrong? Is your DMM working correctly?

Also, the LP2950 is marked differently from the other "transistors" because although it is in the same package, it is a voltage regulator, (as shown on the BOM),not a transistor.

thanks for pointing out regulator not arguing about that i just was not sure about it cause it did not match the numbers on pcb but you said it same so it there, as for the dmm not 100% sure cause on some resistors it reads as it should and others i question it and cannot get it to read 470k whatsoever however it reads 220k and others fine but i dunno i will get this thing now that you guys educated me bit more i will sit down and check with bom and chart and try to get another dmm to see if it reads different then mine right now i am not where the esr meter is to verify the color bands stay tuned i will update results..

Re: anatek blue esr not working correctly

UPDATE::::: Alright guys i am at work and checked everything over since you guys schooled the heck outta me and corrected those resistors via color bands without meter and bam it works perfect got it calibrated and it reads correct ..Thanks for the education and putting a dunce hat on me LOL ...anyways thanks for putting up with me got this working you guys were correct to the T...

Re: anatek blue esr not working correctly

One note when you measure the resistor, do not touch both probes with you hands/fingers otherwise you body resistance will come into play when you are making measurement, especially the high resistance resistor.

Noted and noticed, this baby already helped me with 2 bad caps replaced em and boom the set powers up this is awesome takes the guess work right out...
Thanks everyone

I hope you will notify ANATEK that things are fine.

i did no worries...
