Title: need help 50$ robot please very important
Post by: robotica on May 03, 2007, 08:54:00 AM
hello.. first of all i would like to thank all who have worked on this website, it had helped me alot.. i live in bahrain and we have a radio shack store.. I'm building the 50$ robot.. but i couldn't find some parts.. can anyone tel me where to find these parts or if there any other part that can replace them thank you:D
AT mega8 AVR
28 pin DIP socket
36 position breakaway male header
340ohm resistor
1.62Kohm resistor

i found 330 ohm resistor in radio shack,, can i use that? one of my friends told me there something i can do where i connect 330 with a 10 resistor which will make it total 340 please tel me the steps to do that..

Digikey ships international, but shipping would cost more

I doubt that 10 ohms will make a difference, just use the 330 ohm resistors if it is easier to get.

The other poster is right; there's hardly any difference between 330 and 340.  But to answer your question about connecting them, you can connect them in series (basically end to end), and their resistances will add up.
