Just starting my first LE build & have done the resistor section. Problem is that I have 4 resistors left over & have looked 3 times at the manual & can not find there location.
The color bands on all 4 are:
Gold/ Red/Black?Brown
Let me know where they go.
Thanks Mike
Color code on those is Brown/Black/Red/Gold - Gold denotes the tolerance on resistors with 4 color bands. That makes these 1 Kohm resistors. There is only one on the LE over near the 3 LEDs for Data/5V OK/3V OK. It should be the one furthest to the right closest to the LEDs.
The BOM for an LE only calls for one of these. There is a Red/Black/Red which is a 2 Kohm resistor over below the Transformer. Is it possible that one of these is for that location? It might be that the first red band is reading brown. If in doubt and you have a multimeter I'd check the resistance for the ones you have left to find out if the match the value for the color codes. Here's a link to a resistor calculator where you can plug in the color code and get the resistance value.

Not sure why you would have four of these so I'd do a little research on the ones you have left. Are you missing any resistors on the LE PCB? Hope this helps.

PS. Batdive and I were on the same track it seems. AT
