Hey all.... A power question here from someone that knows almost nothing about electricity.
I had a custom power cable made for my R-4. It's 3 right angle connectors to hook to DVD batteries going to one right angle connector for the R-4. Before actually using the cable I want to verify it was made correctly and the polarity was reversed on the R-4 side with a negative tip.
I have a micrometer but have no idea if I am using it correctly. I took a single battery and attached it to the cord and then took the micrometer, set to the v with a solid and dashed line over it, and tried the probes on the R-4 side. If I put negative in the middle and positive on the outside I get a positive reading. If I reverse it so negative is outside and positive is inside I get a negative reading. I repeated for the other 2 battery connectors and got the same results.
I'm guessing this indicates each battery connection is OK? Am I doing this correctly?
Thanks,
Dana
