Resistors?

Posted by Ed Sims on December 11, 2010 at 8:23am

I received the kit earlier this week and everything went together with no problems.  Thanks for the engineering!

 

I'm waiting to do anything that requires applying power to the machine until I learn what the four resistors are for.  I've been searching the documentation for the last two days and can't find any reference to them. Any ideas?

Thanks

    If they are four 3.9k Ohm resistors, i believe they are used for the voltage monitor. I had them sitting aside for quite some time before i realized thats what they are for. If you look at the "voltage sensor" part of the APM manual, you will see how they are implemented.

     

    If they are in fact not the ones i am thinking of, I'm sorry to have thrown you for a loop! :)

    I had the same question.  I just put them in my spare parts until someone came up with a use.
