Title: Manual + Material Question
Post by: ArtnShit on February 22, 2022, 03:50:42 AM: Hi,

Working on the c4s boards now... Page 57 has a step for putting in the 220Ohm 1/4W Carbon film resistor. The manual identifies the coloring as Red Red Violet Gold, but the packing list has a resistor with the same specs and coloring as Red Red Brown Gold. Same resistor right?

Thanks!

Red-Red-Violet-Gold is 220MegOhms as far as I can figure

Red-Red-Brown-Gold is 220 Ohms

There's a millionX difference.

Either the packing list or the manual is incorrect.

Am I missing something - or am I reacting to a different question?

Measure the resistors with your meter and verify that it is the value called out. That's all that matters.
