I need an adjustable power resistor that can be switched with a resolution of 1Ω. After some thought and web surfing, I bought some 10W wirewounds, which are available in E24 values so that 1, 3, 12 and 24Ω are available. This meant that a binary progression incrementing in 3Ω steps is easily possible, with …
