Funny stuff actually. Sometimes they use Omega, sometimes R, right next to one another in the same schematic, and they are equal.......
The #'s are in weird order, but I guess it eliminates the decimal, so I can see where they're coming from there, and yes, that's fairly simple....
I'll do some more testing of components just to get a good feel and see if I can make the relationships with the schematic. I did notice that some resistors read the same R both ways, some differ, and that the highest resistance reading is closest to the actual value of the resistor. As long as I don't find "opens", or "shorts" through components in either direction and get values that are reasonable vs. schematic values while "on the board", the components are not detrimental/fried.
My next area of misunderstanding relates to all the seemingly "multiple paths" of circuits. I'm trying to follow signal paths, but they just look like they go in many directions at once(like many vehicles making a journey at once vs. one vehicle following a certain route). I'm not able to follow the actual "flow" of these circuits. I'm not following the "logic" of signal/current, making it difficult to actually "see" where a problem may be in any part of the circuit. there seems to be so many paths all at the same time. Give me a "clue"..
