I'm not very good with electronics. Following a DIY guide how to trick a sensor and it calls for 100-Ohm 1/2-Watt resistors. Radioshack only had 1-Watt in stock so I just got a couple of those instead.

The circuit is resistor -> diode -> resistor.

What is the difference between the 1/2-Watt resistors and 1-Watt? Will I get the same results?

Specifically this

With one of these in the middle.

These are what the guide says to use.

The watt rating is for how much watts the resistor will endure before it blows up. So using a 1W resistor in place of a 1/2W is good, using a 1/4W resistor would be a no go.
