RE: Dan's DRSSTC II 1st light tips?

Hi Dan,

I chose 10k because that was the value in the book!
I'm not really concerned about discharging "as fast as possible".
I just don't want to go back to the coil after dinner or whatever and
forget the H-bridge is still sitting at 200 volts or so!

Thanks!

Marc
