Build and Intro

When components are still soldered into the board the results can be miles away due to parallel components. You should test everything you can and you are in an ideal situation because comparative tests can be made against the working board. Can't you test your meter on a known resistor ?

The thing that gets me is that I measure the resistors from the working board and I get the same result as measuring the resistors from the stuffed board, however the reading is nowhere near where it should be, i get about 1 ohm for a 18000 ohm resistor.

Just before I swapped a resistor over and put a new mosfet in one that I though may have been broken. Went and plugged the driver in and it worked!!! Was happy so then sat down wiring everything up to go, go and turn it on and now there's nothing, doesn't even blow fuses anymore, just nothing. Anyway I've swapped in so many different mosfets from things i have lying around, think I've given up and will just wait till the new one arrives. Thanks again for everyones help.

Eddy I've been taking the components out when measuring. And the meter seems to work fine on every other resistor but the ones from the drivers!!!
