<div style="font-family: 'Calibri', 'sans-serif';"><div dir="ltr">Where are the 1% 1/2 watt resistors with the required values for a few cents each? In my experience stepping away from E96 values gets pricey, assuming you can find a source at all. Then there's the notion of the time to design the board, get it and a stencil made, paste and pick and place the parts and solder it, then add the barrier strip. So that's $0/hr for labor and magical sources for parts. <div dir="ltr"><br><div dir="ltr">Pete</div></div></div><br><div id="htc_header">----- Reply message -----<br>From: "Robert Gasiorowski" <rgresume@gmail.com><br>To: "Pete Soper" <pete@soper.us><br>Cc: "Triangle Embedded Computing Discussion" <TriEmbed@triembed.org><br>Subject: [TriEmbed] bad news about decade resistor boards<br>Date: Sat, Oct 15, 2016 9:31 AM</div></div><br><div dir="ltr">It would probably cost less if you made them yourself, and that's including assembly!<div>You could make them custom size, so that they fit the box of your choice.<br></div><div>You could also use higher precision resistors (0.1% or better) for 1k, 10k, and 100k, to make your decade box even better.</div><div>High precision resistors are expensive, but in bulk might not be that bad.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Oct 15, 2016 at 8:55 AM, Pete Soper via TriEmbed <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:triembed@triembed.org" target="_blank">triembed@triembed.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Just a few folks expressed interest in the decade board a while back. I thought it might be more interesting mounted on a laser-cut acrylic base and I wasted some time exploring these and other cute accessories. In the meantime the price was jacked up to $14 +$3 shipping each. I searched around and couldn't find the quantity five deal Paul pointed us too either. I was going to just get a bunch on spec and coordinate with Jeff to offer them in return for Splatspace donations. But at this price they're no longer interesting. Here's the item in question:<br>
