[sdiy] understanding a common resistor symbol

[Dan Snazelle]

thanks all

this is very helpful.

i think in the documentation it MIGHT be taken for granted you understand the circuit from previous experience...i will re-read the article in question to see if i can figure out what the value of the B resistor might be.

sort of freaking out right now as i just melted a piece of the finish on my wifes dining room table...i was using acetone to remove the black on a just etched pcb board when i noticed my cotton balls (still soaked) were soaking through the newspaper i had laid down...oh no! only to find the inks from the paper and the acetone eating into the surface of the table...when i tried to scrape it off..it turned purple and melted the finish.

i turned the table around and put a placemat over it in hopes of discretion....

board came out good though..my first with two different pnp designs on one board   ;)
