Alert, Alert.
I'm plugging away on the controller board, and honest to gosh, even though it's 5 pm somewhere, haven't turned to any beer or Cutty Sark, and have run into a problem. After getting the little diodes in place, and having almost no components left to confuse, find I have ONE 1N5818 and FIVE 1N5819.
The spec sheets I find on line indicate they are in the same family, with very slightly different specs, basically in forward voltage drop.
I assume that I use these 19s in place of the 'missing' 18s? But, this would be so much work to undo if I am in error or the parts were shipped to me in error that am stopping here to do other things until someone who is a guru can say that these are interchangable and it is OK to use these interchangeably. I can only image the damage to to board and traces trying to get these out and new correct ones in if it isn't OK to proceed.
I have the original doc from Blitz itself that I printed out when the kit arrived, and it says 18s. I have the other step by step (I'll look up the good gentleman's name and use it as the authorship when I get a chance, but it has been a bible so far, so I trust it now) saying that it is 18s I'm putting in.
Help with resolving. I was hoping to test the setup later if I could but am on hold for the time being.
