Don't you love it when you miss ordering a single part?

Just received several large parts orders after doing a huge inventory, so I'm mostly stocked up. Finally trying to build a Low Tide board I picked up eons ago and somehow managed to miss the 9K1 resistor it needs! Bah. I guess this is how new carts get started.
 
Yes, hate it when this happens--there's always some part missing.

Resistors are easy though, you can usually find two to combine for what you need.

I have some - pm me

Just one? I’d use a 10k…

Yeah, not sure how important the specific value is in this case. I was looking at what I've got instead and I've either got 8K2 or 10K. Waiting on a Low Tide Mini board to arrive too, so I'm not in a huge rush.

Yeah, I suppose I could use 2 to get the value I need, but I'm not too upset to just wait. Just venting mostly! Ha

I've done parallel resistors, and two caps in the same hole, plus I also filed one resistor once (mostly just to try it, I don't think in that case it would have made much of a difference - but FWIW you can increase the resistance of a resistor by filing it with just a normal file. You want a DMM to measure where you're going though, of course, and preferably nail polish or something so it doesn't oxidize afterwards).

Hot tip. I feel like filing a resistor could be a fun experiment, but I'm not sure if this build will end up being for me or not, so I'd prefer to keep it as "normal" as possible. Might try that for fun though!
 
If you both are in the US. I've successfully mailed resistors, MLCC caps, and PCBs in a regular envelope with just a stamp. I make cutouts for the parts in a single piece of cardboard and tape it all together. If you use two pieces of cardboard sandwiched together, that's too thick and it will get returned.

Canada, but thanks for the tip!

Ha. You have everything I need! I should skip Tayda and go right to you.

I need the 3 and 4 pin female versions too, to plug those into though, so I imagine an order is in my near future.
