Title: Question about parts list for $50 robot
Post by: TheDarkLord on June 14, 2011, 07:16:41 PM
So while I was re-reading the $50 robot tutorial, I noticed that on the parts list, it says that you need a 5 pack of the 340ohm and the 1.62Kohm resistors. While reading the tutorial, I do not recall seeing how these were used. Could someone please help me understand why these resistors are required, and why five of them are needed?

Thanks in advance.

You don't need 5, but they come in packs and it couldn't hurt :P
