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