Resistor direction
« on: November 20, 2010, »
Hi guys in step 2 of the dongle manual pic is not clear enough to see which way the 470ohm resistor goes does it matter?
                      thanks Dave

Nah,

 Resistors do not care. Some like me try to put all the resistors facing the same way so the bands match since machines that build commerical equipment do this and we want our stuff to look as good but it is just a silly thing the pcb does not know.

Thanks RJ very much for the fast response finally getting around to build the dongle I think I am to late for this year but want to get things done over winter.
