Hello all,

I have the schematic for this altoids project but there is no parts list
that I can find. I can build them but getting parts is different. My last
project was a rockmite 20. I was successful but this project is only by
schematic. If anyone knows anything about this thing, can you help me out.
I have a feeling once I get started, I may have quite a few questions. Is a
relay a relay a relay? K1 is a relay but does it have to be what he
suggests? I will probably get that relay but I am trying to learn as well.
Thanks so much.

All relays are not the same. If the adapter is the one shown at
http://www.qsl.net/n5ib/page2.html
then it is a 2 pole 12 volt relay. You should use the one he
used, until you are comfortable that you know enough to
figure out a different one. A different relay is a good idea,
as the circuit uses power from the htx 10 and the relay
consumes most of it. A different relay that uses less power
would be a better choice. The one on the web site uses
..72 watts.

But, since you did not post a reference to the schematic,
we can only guess that it is the one at the site mentioned
above. Next time, post a url where we can see the schematic
you are using.

On your question about resistors - 1/4 watt will be fine.
