Stage Fright Resistor Alternative

[BuzzKing]

I am having trouble locally sourcing the 3 K ohm resistor (R48) on my Stage Fright build. I do not need to make any orders for other parts right now and really don't want to order a 5 cent part. Can I use a 2.7 K ohm or a 3.3 K ohm resistor instead? I have plenty of those on hand. If so which would be best to use.

Oh yeah, no worries

If they're not 1% tolerance, you could probably measure the ones you've got and find one that's pretty close to 3k.

You could probably get away with either the 2.7k or 3.3k, but in that position, you are going to be better off using the precise value. Since there are several 1.5k resistors in the circuit, I'm guessing you have some of those, so you could use two of those in series to make up the 3.0k.

Thanks,

Most of my resistors are 5% tolerance, some 2%. I will measure some 2.7 and 3.3 and see if one is actually close.

I do have plenty of 1.5k so I can use 2 of those.

I will likely socket the position and the next time I have to order from Mouser will get some 3k.
