[20:07] but load shouldn't be needed to tell if you have dead fuse or osmething [20:08] yeah you guys seem to be right [20:08] i guess voltages would shoot up [20:08] i think it's not by that much [20:08] like 10% or something [20:13] and I'm not sure what the circuit looks like, but parts of it may not even be a active when not connected to anything [20:14] that'd make sense [20:24] *** dwarren has quit IRC (Quit: leaving) [20:24] *** dwarren has joined #arpnetworks [21:50] It's easy for a power supply to fail under load, but unloaded appear fine [21:50] (first-hand experience) [23:20] This is way, way too fucking funny to me right now http://cube-drone.com//2014_11_16-99_Ingenuity.html
