Hi to all, I've finished populating the psu board v3. Now I'm testing it such as suggested in the guide. But if I use my dmm pointing on v+(-) and gnd it starts beeping but then stops and the value increases. Instead if I us the dmm at 20k ohm it displays 1k and increases slightly. ????? Help me.

Hi Acumos
My thoughts are you are trying to measure resistance OHMS with DC voltage switched on. Most DMM's don't like this, and although they should not interfere with circuitry - its possible a cheaper DMM may do just that
Suggest you turn power off to then measure resistance. It would help to explain to us what the v3 psu board is, and attached to.

So switch power off before measuring resistance.
