MR 16 Assembly Question
« on: November 29, 2011, »
I have started to assemble one of my MR16 boards for next year & have a question. In the Wiki it states,
"Three of the .1uf capacitors need to be put on the places above the chips marked for them now. Install the 4.7k ohm resistor in the marked location above the big chip if you are going to use the mosfets for high current. "

What I am going to run is flex strip 5050 LED only on Red, Gren & White so I would install the above stated resistor.
Then a few lines below in a blue box it states,
"Then install the 120 ohm resistor at the top of the board’s center where it is marked.
Is this the next step or does that have something to do with constant current?

The 120 ohm is for DMX termination jumper.

Not sure about the other question

yes you need the 4.7k resistor. and Rick is correct the 120 ohm is for dmx termination.
