Which resistor?

[tynesider]

Hi, which resistor do I get for a MB? I know its 470 ohm 1/4 watt but the ones I have seen are 470R - 470K.

Thanks

Can't answer your questine Tyne, sorry.

But, I was looking at this on Madvapes the other day and it looks a good demo (may have been posted before, sorry if it has).

In standard notation, 470R is 470ohm. 470K is 470,000ohm.

The "R" is used to denote both that it's a resistor, and as the decimal point. "K" is used for kilohms (1K = 1000ohms), and also as the point/comma.

So, 4R7 is 4.7ohms
47R is 47ohms
470R is 470ohms
4K7 is 4,700ohms

Thanks clockworks, I hope I grasped that right and it 470R that I need to get.

Cheers

Thanks, thats exactly what I'm going to attempt to build, I'm just getting all the components ready and the next time I'm off work I'll have a go.

Cheers
