diy resistor
I used this a few times, with success 8)
A Resistor could by trimmed to almost every required value simply by reducing the cross-sectional area through filing out a bit of the resistor.
After that the resistor gets sealed with nail polish.
Pro:
realization of non-standard values possible
Contra:
Power Handling get lower since the current density gets higher
Noise gets higher :?: (assumption)
Neutra:
Resistor value gets higher :roll:
Detailed Instructions:
**broken link removed**
:?: Is there anyone who uses this method?
Are there "better" methodes? (for example: parallel/series combination)
BTW: I think the "hobby electronics circuits" section should be widened to "hobby electronics"
