3.3v line

Post by GamecubePerson111 »

When wiring up to the 3.3v line from a pth08000 or a pth08080, for the 2k ohm resistor, what's the wattage that the resistor should be?

1/8th or 1/4 watt should be more than enough

I found a 2.2k ohm 1/8 W resistor at radioshack, would that still work correctly?

Yeah but I mean on a guide somewhere i read the resistor is supposed to be a 2k ohm resistor, would the difference in ohms still properly work by using a 2.2k ohm resistor?

Also will this work fine with the TI regulator?

If you do two 1k's in series you will get 2k, the ideal value.
