Need help Understanding Oscope vs Multimeter Readings
<< < (5/5)

To all of you, thank you immensely for your help. After several of your comments I started getting real suspicious of my equipment after checking for the 20th time. Everything everyone was saying sounded logical but reality wasn't adding up. 

Turns out I've got a bad probe. After taking about a 15 minute break to mull over what everyone was saying, I rechecked everything again. You guys said the ground was the issue but nothing was changing on the display. Finally I decided to change out the probe. After switching it out, the problem went away. Glad it worked because I was really starting to question my sanity. Looks like the ground on that probe is bad.

Thank you all once again for your patience and getting me to a solution! :)
Brumby:
I was going to suggest changing out the probe if the last couple of things I mentioned weren't a problem.  I'd traced out the circuit from your video and that was fine - so the probe was about the only thing left!

Glad you got there - and you can pat yourself on the back for working it out!


It's also a good lesson in questioning everything if something isn't making sense.

Why did you delete video? I'm curious to see the problem. Also it may have educational value for future viewers if you described the problem in the video description.

Nice to know, is usually quite a pain to detect a problem in what we think it's a "good known" that just started to fail.
