                                           7. For this step, you will need two 1/4-watt, 2.4 K  resistors to
                                              create a resistor network that will replace the potentiometer
                                              that was just removed. Try to select two resistors that have
                                              very  close  resistance  values,  although  it  is  not  extremely
                                              important, since any discrepancies can be compensated for
                                              in the control software. Cut the resistor leads to a length of
                                              3/8-inch.  Twist  two  of  the  ends  together  and  solder,  as
                                              shown in Figure 4.13.
