Resistors

Topics regarding the Uzebox hardware/AVCore/BaseBoard (i.e: PCB, resistors, connectors, part list, schematics, hardware issues, etc.) should go here.

Resistors

Post by vitals817 »

ok having trouble finding resistors with the right values .
Are you guys just using 2 0r 3 resistors to make the right values.
ex 768 ohms cant find it
The resistors used for the uzebox what wattage are they.
Thanks matt

All the required resistors are on Digi-Key. You do not have to combine resistors. They should all be 1/4 watt resistors. The 768 ohm resistor is part number 768XBK-ND.

Hope this helps,

All resistors can be found at Digikey. Sometime your need to search in metal-film type. All of them are 1/4W.

Here's a dump of most parts used. The part number are DigiKey's. I looked for the 768ohm and they have plenty (768XBK-ND). I will try to update the BOM with this stuff when I have time.

Hey Compman...you answered just before me again...you're fast!

Cheers,

Do they have to be exact? I mean what are combos aiming for? Could you use a 750 instead of 768? Rapid have packs of 100 for £0.95, while digi key works out at £8.00 for 100; quite a difference - only rapid don't have all of those exact values :-D

Well, as exact as you want your colors. A few ohm won't make a big difference, but make it a big higher than lower or your final signal will be a bit too high. You could also try to use Clay Cowgill's DAC instead. It uses less resistors and their values may be more appropriate for you.
