Title: extended upgrade question
Post by: saildoctor on June 26, 2010, 01:54:00 PM

I've been getting the extended upgrade boards ready to put into my completed Foreplay III.  I noticed when putting together the two C4S layouts that the two 237ohm 1/4watt resistors shown in the instructions appear to be replaced with 1/8watt in my kit.  Is it going to be alright to use these in place of the 1/4w's?  Just thought i would ask before I soldered them up!  Thanks.

Yup. Voltage drop is about 0.85V across the resistor. Power is V²/R, so power dissipation of the resistor is about .003 watts.
