    Damn Kacy, from one bad day to another. Sorry for your frustration and losses, but it sounds like you may be on to the source of the problem. Best of luck getting it fixed and back on track.

    So my clown is absolutely fine now. This is so bizarre.

    He seems lonely! But I'm absolutely terrified to add anyone. I have no idea what to do.

    I unplugged everything one at a time, and still got a reading of up to 0.5 when nothing was running. What does that mean!?! So weird...

    do you get voltage when you touch the leads together? also is it possible you where touching the leads at all? you do produce voltage and the fluxing your getting makes me think it may be you creating voltage.....

    edit: don't mean to sound rude......just things i see at my work when we check voltages

    Oh - I didn't take it as rude at all!! No worries. I never check voltage, so any tips on how to do it properly are appreciated. :) I could have been touching the leads. But I don't think I was... I'll test again.
