woop said:Wait a sec. are we talking about resistors for use as a shunt, for measuring current or the sense resistors for the LM317?
for the 317 sense resistors, you are right about the 1.25 voltage.
I thought we where talking about shunt resistors for measuring the current...
I don't know what you mean by a shunt resistor...don't they go in parallel with ammeters? What we are talking about is simply placing a 1 ohm resistor in series with the diode. However as I stated twice, I did it a bit differently and put the resistors between the output and adjust.
Added..Nevermind...the term shunt resistor is correct in this application as well as many others...sorry.
