When I try to do the multimeter test instead of using the scope, I don't get sensible readings. (I know it's not 24 volts.) I can confirm that I'm 1V/division on my cheap Chinese scope. With DC coupling, I see that the wave goes from 0.9V to 2.4V with an average of about 1.6V, which is what I'd expect if it's working. The scope is supposed to have a 100MHz bandwidth. Do you think maybe it's the cheap probes or something? I suppose I could take it in to work because we've got some test gear with ungodly bandwidths.
The multimeter does say that the output of the 3.3V regulator is at 3.3V and the output of both of the 5V regulators are at 5V.
The question is whether or not I should continue with the assembly. I'm thinking I probably should. I think that it probably is working fine, but it's not something my equipment can readily test.
