  • for what is the resistor?

  • @iulik17d it is needed for it to be able to work with all iPods/iPhones, when you ad the resister it makes the iDevice belive the LOD is made for Aplle so lets it be used, without it, it wont work if that makes any sense.

  • @myparrots1 my ipod classic 6g works without resistor

  • @iulik17d Yes but it will not work with most other models so it is best to put a resistor in so you are sure it will work with all of them.

  • Hi, I would like to have a go at this, but am a complete beginner...so excuse the silly question:

    What diameter silver wire and how many strands do you use for this LOD?

    Many Thanks

  • @sherbanu63 you can use any wire as long as its not too thick

see all
