Coil wrap counting question...

[smizak]

I feel a little stupid asking this question because I've been at it long enough but...

If I wanted to build a 6 wrap coil, would I want 5 full wraps between the ends and then the end where it goes into the post is a half wrap, so that plus the other side is the 6th?

Thanks in advance homies.

No stupid questions when it comes to builds. Glad you got your answer

Don't feel stupid. I came here to ask the same thing just now.

Actually, I've been building a while and never really thought of it. Yeah I guess I should have been counting the leads. Guess that's why I've always been just a little off on the ohm reader from steam engine

Yeah I was calling that a 7. Nbd for me though cause let's say that's supposed to be a .3ohm and I'd be reading at maybe .35 for example. Not a deal breaker for me.

Good job

Seems like you've got this one wrapped up

Leads on the same side half wraps

Leads on opposite sides full wraps
