Resistors 15k instead of 10 k

Design Concepts

Hi

I’ve ordered some stuff from Claudia, but I got resistors of 15k instead of 10k for my core module. (They look the same in bad lighting) Should that be a problem, or is this new?

Thanks

Hi,

thats hard stuff. 15K is 50% “tolerance”.

Most of the 10K resistors on the core are pullup resistors. Usually it should not be a problem if you use a little higher one. But 15 K ? - I never tried it but you can give them a try.

If they were sended to you by mistake, you should get the right ones from claudia, I think.

Hi Rednas,

PullUps will work in the range between 10k and 100k without problems, but please inform Claudia about this error.

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Thanks guys,

I already send Claudia an e-mail.

After all it seems like black looked like grey, because of the background, so my resistors are 10 k. I never thought of measuring with a multimeter to measere the resistances to put the right one in the right place.

Well, you learn from your mistakes right?

Well, One should :wink: But usually only after “a funny smell at power-up” incident ;D

Especially you should never trust the ring colours of resistors!

Sometimes red looks like brown and black like gray…

The colours differ from manufacturer to manufacturer.

So always do a quick check with your multimeter before you get this “a funny smell at power-up” incident  ;D
