Anyone know what these are?

Here is the reply from JD.

Hi,

I'm sorry, those jumpers in the kit are a carry-over from the previous version we used to sell.  You don't need them.  Your keen sense of observation is correct.  The jumpers are built into the new PCBs.

Sorry about the confusion. Ignore the zero ohm resistors.  We have corrected this and the kits won't have those in the future :-)

Thanks,
JD



At least now I know what a 0 ohm resistor is.

Seriously???  Someone figured out a way to make money on jumpers???  I'd use them just for the cool mojo.  Of course they'd have to be carbon comp jumpers...

At first I thought they might be a diode cause it had one stripe. But that stripe is pretty much in the middle. lol

Bidirectional diode?

I saw one of the these fancy jumpers for the first time a couple of weeks ago in a build here and had to ask what it was. My first thought was that it was an inductor.

Well, they look nicer on a board than wire jumpers do, plus you can solder them in just like a resistor (as opposed to vaguely measuring out wire, soldering, cutting, swearing when it's too short, start again...)

They don't work in really short jumps, though.
