Parts confusion
Parts confusion
Hi ... Andy VK3XKA here.
I am in the process of building the Pico Tuner ver 3 and have noticed a couple of resistor conflicts. The parts list and the circuit diagram differ with r4 and r5.There may be other conflicts that I have not yet discovered.
R4 is 2.32k on Parts list and 4k7 Circuit diagram
R5 is 1k on Parts and 1k8 Circuit diagram
Which is correct??? I presume the Parts list (I got from DigiKey) is correct. Maybe the cct drag needs updating?

Re: Parts confusion
Both are correct. It is a voltage divider setting the voltage. Maybe I will delete the BOM.

Re: Parts confusion
The BOM is very helpful to occasional hobbyists....I'd delete the precision resistor and use the E12 pair, something that said hobbyists may have in a selection pack......but then they wouldn't need to order them.....

Re: Parts confusion
That's what I did, but maintaining a BOM is a never ending task. Components go out of stock, part numbers change. Nightmare.
Re: Parts confusion
Thanks for doing the BOM …I just received the order as per the BOM …so much easier to use a list and paste it into Digikey …
ordered the digikey order the same day as the BATC order for the pcb and nim …..digikey made it across the Atlantic in 3 days …still waiting for my BATC order to arrive

Re: Parts confusion
Digikey is a large corporation with hundreds of paid staff. BATC is run entirely by volunteers, who do everything in their spare time.
Perhaps that’s something to do with it ?

Blimey no sense of humour??? Hence the laughing faces ,…….I honestly give up …people have no sense of humour anymore

Re: Parts confusion
Actually Steve it's not about being touchy, Roger was just saying the way it is
And yes occasionally I do get just a little bit peeved when people imply the service is not up to scratch as several of us spend many hours a week keeping BATC running for the members - I'll be going to the post office today with a bunch of orders which I've just put together.

I am sure the majority of members realise it’s a voluntary service …but obviously there’s a few that don’t ……anyway still waiting for my order so hurry up down the post office ……
