Tutorial: How to use 10k 1/4w 5% Resistors

These resistors are ideal for establishing voltage and current resistances in various Arduino projects. Useful for beginners and intermediates.

What you need

• 10k 1/4w 5% Resistors
• Multimeter
• Sculptor’s knife
• Soldering iron tip

Steps

1. Check the datasheet specifications: 10k ohm, 1/4w, 5%.
2. Take a resistor and assign a serial number.
3. Connect one end of the resistor to the vcc of your Arduino.
4. Connect the other end to the digital output pin.
5. With the multimeter measure the resistance between the two ends.
6. Verify that the measured resistance is close to 10k ohm.
7. Connect an LED in series with the resistor and connect the other end of the LED to GND.
8. Check that the LED lights up when the digital pin is HIGH.

Mini project

Create a simple pressure counter using a variable resistor and a 10k 1/4w 5% resistor.

Common mistakes

• Do not use resistors of different resistance in a circuit.
• Do not connect the resistor directly to VCC without going through a transistor or a potentiometer.
• Always check the resistance with the multimeter before connecting it.
• Do not use resistors with power lower than 1/4w.

Recommended accessories

• Variable resistor
• LED
• Transistor
• Multimeter
