Zero ohm..... with a 1% fault tolerance.....

Sorry for the long wait on a post.... real life sucks out all my energy at the moment....
But, Last weekend I went to a HAM fest, and I bought some nifty things.....
Among the stuff I bought was a huge pack of 1% 1/4 watt resistors.... 2850 of them....

Hans, PD0AC, who is a personal friend of me, always had a little joke on the local repeater about how he was looking for a very special resistor....
He was looking for a 0 Ohm resistor... but it had to be a 1% fault tolerant one, 5% was not accurate enough....
Now this let to many very hilarious talks on the local repeater on where to get the 1% version...

So I was unpacking my 2850 resistors, and sorting them out till i found this wonderful thing...........

It's a bit hard to see but it's black/silver...... iPhone4 does not have a really awesome cam on it ;)

So, Hans, i found your resistor.... you can get some next time you visit....
Unfortunately your little joke is now obsolete ;)


I hope to finish up some small projects this weekend...... If I do I'll post about them...


Till the next time!
