Hi all.
So I'm looking to use smd resistors on this build, first time using them. I've ordered twice from mouser the size and ohms that I'll need.
Both times, the ones that came are 1/10th the size of the ones that come installed. The manual says 0603 footprint, which I ordered both times, so I'm doing something wrong obviously lol.
You can barely see these, even with a magnifier. The jumper ones that come installed, no problem removing them, I figured that would be the size I got.

Any advice on this? I'm going for 65ish ohms:
3.3v accent pad
2v red accent led's
20milliamps
=
65 ohms

Thanks a bunch

Do they look to be about this size? If so they are correct as these are 0603. Yes, this is a CF but the footprint is the same as Prizm.

Hey DC.
No no, the ones I got are so small, I can barely see them. I could fit 10 of them in a row on the ones you have there lol.
Those there are what I'm trying to get, but I know I used that size while ordering. If 0603 doesn't mean 0603, then I'm confused.
Where did you pick yours up? Maybe I'll try somewhere else.

Thanks man
