Title: Problems with my 1st build or at least with the instructions
Post by: Nightowlz1966 on April 09, 2012,

Hey Everyone
I bought a MR-16 to be my first board ever to try to build as the price was right LOL...
I know the instructions are out of date and looking at my board there appears to be places for 20 resistors
but I have 22 resistors in my kits .... Are all the resistors the same rating or are my eyes playing tricks on me.
I know 16 of them should be the same but what about the others.
Thanks
Brian F

Sorry you are having problems. The manual should be updated soon, which does not help you at the moment.

If you have a multi-meter then I would use that to read the value of resistance of each resistor and then put them on the board according to the markings on the board.

The V2 Board only has a total of 20 Resistors, So if you are sure they are all the same then you must have been sent to many. you should have 16 that have 1 orance stripe on them plus some other colors (3K ohm), put those aside. Then you should have 4 remaining. 2 that are the same(100 ohm), 1 that has a hard to see yellow next to the leg (4.7K phm), the last one has a gray strip on 1 of the 2 inner bands the (180 ohm). Hope this helps.

Thanks Guys Maybe I can get it figured out this evening.
The capacitors nor the resistors have a polarity issue do they ?

We built one last week.  The colors on the resistors were very close in color codes, so watch out.  Had to take three pieces off and redo.

Only the 100 uF Cap has polarity.
