Hello long time reader first time poster... yadda
I recently aquired a kit for the EVB meter and while most of the installation has been a rewarding and fun experience i think i might have bitten off more than i can chew!
So far have troubleshooted a few component placement issues myself
- put the pots in the wrong spots, swapped them... now good
- put the diodes in the wrong spots (got the mounting positions mixed up with the 4 flat square shaped capacitors), bought new ones, these are good
- installed incorrect resistor, tested all resistors now all are ok
Currently the issue i have, is that when i have the 9v battery (test leads in series with board) i get a current draw of ~8.6mA.
Any ideas?
