Button Panel Resistors
For the builders that are doing their own button panels we can send you a set of resistors with the proper values. $10 plus shipping The 715 ohm and one of the 1270 ohm resistors is not used if you have the early model donors with the info and return buttons located on the dash. You will need...
Assuming 1620 is the right one (It's what I ordered but haven't gotten to that point yet). Digi-Key search doesn't show up with 1620 but does with 1.62k.

That will work, as it is the same value.
Nate, if you can't see the resistor colors, you can always measure the resistor with a meter.

Reading the bands, brown, brown, blue, orange, green = 1, 1, 6, 1K, 0.5 or 116K Ohm .5% according to the color bands.
Edit: or could be green, orange, blue, brown, brown = 5, 3, 6, 10, 1 or 5.36K Ohm 1%. Or is that orange band gold, hard to tell from the photo.

Yeah, I just wanted to point out some of the selling search engines don't recognize the #### vs the #.##k.

Those resistors are used so multiple buttons can be connected to one input to the "brain". Depending on the combination of resistance, it changes the voltage on the signal wire to the "brain". So in other words, if the signal wire has say 1.7v on it, it knows that the Info button was pressed, if it has 2.3 volts on the wire it knows that the Enter button was pressed. This way it doesn't have to have a dedicated wire and input for every button. It's kind of a multiplexed system. You keyboard is another example of this
You can certainly wire an unused button to something else if you wish.
