[Suggestion] Reduce number of different components #6

Closed SR-71x2 closed 2 years ago

SR-71x2 commented 2 years ago

The Components 13 (R 3K) and 14 (R 1K) on the BOM only appear once in the schematics to form a voltage divider. It doesn't seem that there will be much current over this voltage divider, so i'd suggest reproducing it with a 10K and 3x 10K resistors.

That way, all resistors in the project would be 10K's. Less rails required for a pick&place machine and no way to misplace when manual soldering.

Same method would probaply be possible for some capacitors. Many of them seem to be only for buffering&filtering purposes without needing to be an exact value.

Good point! I'll look to change that. Should make things a little easier and cheaper to make.
