can you tell us the color codes or take another picture or tell us the value?

Very good ph2t, but I did state in my original post that I used a 1k resistor.

It doesn't seem to matter what value, but I'd stay in the 1-10k range.

Sorry about the crappy pic, sometimes I just can't take a decent pic, don't know why...

Crazydave,

I think i did it wrong. I'll post a pic later. But my batteries are heating up VERY fast, and no lights are comming on. I used a 10k resistor, 0.5 watts.

help :sad:

If the batteries are getting hot, then you've got a dead short, and you've definately wired it wrong.

Make sure the copper strip you cut is cut all the way through, and not just the green coating. I actually sawed about halfway into my PCB just to make sure I had broken contact, because the metal kinda stretches before it breaks..

If that's not it, look at this picture from the original tutorial on BitMod, his picture is a lot clearer that mine, maybe you can see how you've wired it wrong.

I wired it correctly but i did not know that you had to acctually had to cut the PCB. Can you make it clearer where to cut it?

Aww, well see we've found the problem at least.


You cut the one on the left in the picture, the side with the black wire.

See in the picture above where they added a red line?

1.I cut the board were the red line is(how deep)
2.Add a piece of wire were the blue line is(from nub to nub)
3.Add resistor were purple line is(from nub to nub)
4.put back together and race

Yep you got it. Just cut that strip as deep as you have to to make sure it's separated, but not so deep that you cut all the way through the board.


You know your simplified instructions are probably gonna be more helpful to people than mine.

I go rambling on, trying to cover everything so no one has ask to questions, and then it's more than people want to read, and everyone asks questions.:roll: :lol:
