I looked on adafruit and sparkfun, but they don't seem to have the specific numbers for their resistors and capacitors. Where is a reputable place I can buy these online (or offline?? radio shack?). Thanks so much!150 Ohm resistor, 270 Ohm resistor, 33nF capacitor (10nF will work fine as well if that’s easier to find)
Thanks for the heads up on ebay. You were right, tons of these things on there.Popcorn wrote:ebay is your friend! or your local electronic components store.
(TACTLESS, HORRIBLE, SHAMELESS PLUG: I also have the resistors and switches available in the buy, sell forum. capacitors are sold out though sadly)
Yes for the resistors, however you may need to be wary of the capacitors. Old motherboards typically have leaky/about to leak/high ESR capacitors, which won't work very well in the project. However, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't use them, just check them carefully first and see what brand they are as well (Capxon has bad quality, while Nichicon/Rubycon/Sanyo are among the highest).Fox wrote:I have a faulty PC motherboard laying around. Would I be able to reuse resistors and capacitors from that?
So Radio shack has the ohm resistors but no capacitors.. will these work?crispy_tofu wrote:Yes for the resistors, however you may need to be wary of the capacitors.
