So you would think with a part number like 0805W8F470KT5E… it would be 470K eh? ![fucking absurd](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/3X/d/4/d4846be8f381d2ef52102e70a2c8ff576247c63a.png) Nope… 4.7R (4R7ohm) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/3X/d/b/db101c8fe395dfdea141fdc4117ff720caf46208.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/3X/7/2/720750d2dfd07070abbb98ed70cb973da10bd53f.jpeg) So lets feed 9v to every NPN and see what happens… -\_- Time to remove 360 or so 4.7ohms from these 10 boards. This shit had me scratching my head for like 4 days… I stared at my files thinking I had made some routing error, as I am usually pretty eagle eyed when picking components… lol. ---

Update - got all of the 4.7R’s off the board, had only 10 470k’s on hand, was able to finish off the 6 Roll and 4 Roll to test em out! Now I have to wait for mouser for the 400 470k’s I ordered… lol At least I know it wasn’t a routing error now 🙂 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/3X/d/0/d0c4236ce494406781502d143f909ed471a55669.jpeg) ---

So… I picked up some free wood out the BnQ bins thinking it would do for some panels, turns out it was only 19mm (Doh!) Thankfully im a ‘smart’ guy… Used a coping saw and did a bit of joinery. ![IMG-20220227-WA0000](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/3X/d/1/d15a7d0408c93215e905c51c19955acd69be4d05.jpeg) Glued it all up n designed myself an 8step seq’ with space for Analog Outputs mods. Drilled it out today and fitted the panel components to see how it’ll look… Can you spot my error? Some ‘smart’ guy I am haha! ![IMG_20220303_031424](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/lookmumnocomputer/original/3X/2/6/26581428e69cd36727a156e0ca0d724ce5469829.jpeg) Thankfully it should be an easy fix =) ---

just get your saw out again and cut some plugs for the holes. [Previous page](https://lookmumnocomputer.discourse.group/t/a-litany-of-dumbassery/526.md?page=36) [Next page](https://lookmumnocomputer.discourse.group/t/a-litany-of-dumbassery/526.md?page=38)
