Ohh, the resistor has to be in-line then on that trace. Hhmm - I usually use a 10K-12K resistor on the FET gate, but the resistor goes to ground, so I’m sure not the same effect as what you have proposed. Ok, I’ll see what I have, and see if I can do something like that. Think you might have told me the same thing, or something similar wayy back, but I’ve been using the caps successfully up til now, but on the wight FET+1 boards, not the PD68 Double Down’s.
Actually got some 0402 10K resistors, and am using that on this board for the FET gate to grnd resistor because it fits better to the FET pins. Maybe I should remove it for testing going forward — it’s a real PIA anyway to solder it. Basically, can’t see what I’m doing when I solder, and only with a magnifier afterwards can I inspect it. Gonna go back to 0805’s.
