i should have more faith in the voltmeters that i'm using.

note to self: when probing across a resistor and not getting any voltage, that means there is no current flowing. and when that happens, accept it: your connection is fucked up. grab new wires and replace it. not believing and trying a gazillion different ways to probe it instead will result in two hours worth of precious time wasted.

trust the voltmeters. that's the only way you can survive.
