Tangible Font Selection - Resistor

[Kreyhn]

Regarding Tangible Font Selection, the CFX guidebook states:

"Wiring required
Tangible selection requires 2 resistors, 1 fixed (pull-up resistor) of 10k installed on the auxiliary
+3.3V and a variable resistor producing the action change."

It then lists other resistor values in a table with k after the number.

Does the 10k refer to 10000 ohms or 10 ohms?

10000 Ohms.

Cheers! Do you know if the resistor wattage is an issue? I am presuming it is not, but if this is being used in the blade detection circuitry it will at least come into contact with the high-amp neopixel circuit.

Would you expect a 1/6 watt resistor to do well with a blade detection circuit?

[Forgetful Jedi Knight]

I would guess so. Most signals on the board are ~20mA.

Much appreciated!
