So i am making my first driver for a phr-803t diode. The schematic says that i need to solder a 10ohm resistor but i doesnt say of what wattage. So i went to my local electronics store and bought a 1/2w one. When i got home i found out that the clerk put a 1ohm one instead of a 10ohm. Money wasn't a matter since these things are dirty cheap, so i started looking in my electronics stash for a resistor of the said value. What i have found was a 10ohm@1/8watt one, but i don't know if it is suitable because of it's wattage. Does anybody know if it is ok?:thinking:
