Re: Q X7 Schematic; how to find it on ORCForums?

Hi MrDespar. I did not want to affront you, but writing 'searching for this 0402 1Mohm smd resistor (and asked some friends) but there are hundreds of similar resistors with different voltages.' makes me think, you and 'your friends' have to really learn a lot, before putting hands on a PCB board, t...

Re: RPM resolution?

Before trying to get a oXs sketch on the nano, maybe you should try to get the basics with Arduino and the IDE.

Please try DATA - EXAMPLES - BASICS and use BLINK.
