Re: **IMPORTANT GEAR TOOTH SENSOR BOARD UPDATE** STICKY PLEASE

Look at the markings on the resistors, you'll need a strong magnifying glass, or take a digital high resolution picture.

The resistor markings are 4 digits, the way they work is that the first 3 digits are the value, and the last digit is the multiplier. So the resistor marked 1001 means 100 x 10^1 or 1000 ohms or 1 K ohm. The resistor marked 1004 is 100 x 10^4 or 1,000,000 ohms or 1 M ohm

Usually if you are trying to measure the resistance of a resistor (especially a 1 M ohm resistor) while it is in the circuit, you will get a much lower resistance reading because of the other components connected to it.

has some close up pictures of the boards, you can almost read the resistor values.
