You're mid-solder, the circuit calls for a 3K resistor, and the 1/4W carbon film you grabbed won't hold under load. These Jaycar metal film resistors give you double the wattage headroom in the exact same footprint as your standard 1/4W. Eight on the reel, so when the first one pops during testing you've got a spare without hunting down another bag. Drop them in, close the circuit, move on with your build
