Puzzled by ribbon connector GRD pins?
« on: June 25, 2023, 12:34:26 pm »
As a newbie I'm just wanting to have something confirmed about this connector and the pins 8 and 22, the schematic shows these as connected, surely when I put my probes on both in continuity mode I should hear a sound? Or am I missing something?

I've attached the full schematic to this post, but here's a snapshot of the connector part:
* DDJ1000 Schematic 3 Pages-compressed.pdf (1999.97 kB - downloaded 20 times.)

Also, on a schematic when I see a component has GRDLED should I get continuity if I touch probe on that and on to pin 8 or 22 which are labeled GRDLED?

Thanks

They are shown connected so ... there will be almost Zero ohms. A sound? If your DMM is set to continuity mode it will make a sound.

I would think so.
I told my friends I could teach them to be funny, but they all just laughed at me.

thanks. All sorted now. There was a broken thru-hole so no connection from top of board to bottom. Did a fix as shown on youtube, and all good now.
