Well all the parts are in place and the first DIY is about to be soldered up. For my star grounding scheme I read so much conflicting info about star grounding with an earth ground that in the end I went with a "true" star ground-that is, every single componant which is grounded has its' own separate ground to the single star at chassis/earth ground.
Here's the rub. My multi-meter's lowest setting for ohms is 200. When I check all my grounds and all my bolts for mounting parts to the chassis I get 000.1-000.2 no matter what. Sometimes when simply holding the probes to each other I get 000.0 and sometimes they fluctuate to 000.1-000.2 so I'm thinking I'm reading resistance from the probes themselves.
Is a reading such as the one I've gotten when checking my circuit/chassis ground of 000.1-000.2 to be expected or should I be reading a true 000.0?
Any and all help would be appreciated.
