Simple resistor overheat problem

[CDRIVE]

Keyboard wizardry has become a lost art. Prior to the advent of the mouse stuff like this was common knowledge. It is sadly being lost along with the exceptional power that the Command Line provides for those that know how to use it.

THAT DOES not WORK ON MY COMPUTER.

I also did a Google search for this and NONE of the other options work to give me That Symbol.
This is WHAT I Get...........

Font Family can sometimes effect this. Are you sure you're using the number pad and not number/symbol (also called number/operator) keys? In any case as Bob pointed out we have an Ω, μ & ± symbol set in our toolbar.

I did not see the symbol for Ohm:

really? sorry it was badly drawn. but i dont find the need for irony.

But 55 Ohms is not a standard resistor value anyway. Maybe it should be 56Ω? Then the current with a brand new 9V battery will be about 102mA (plus or minus the forward voltage range) into the LED that has the lowest forward voltage and it will fail quickly.

Unless the LEDs have their forward voltages matched, each LED should have its own resistor.
