Yes - Ohmega has been considered but I don't remember
hearing any success stories with the material. I don't
think the accuracy is too critical. For example a
35 ohm resistor +/- 30% doesn't give the greatest
results but it is still MUCH better than no resistor
at all.
Anyone have success with Ohmega? Also I was wondering
what size the resistors would have to be for +/- 20% tolerance
(as an example).
Mike
