This is a handy resistor colour code “calculator” that doesn’t need power supply or to be installed on a PC. As you know most resistors use coloured bands in order to show their value. So basically ...

The Adafruit blog just posted a neat papercraft resistor calculator. If you haven’t yet learned the horribly offensive mnemonic for resistor color codes, now’s your chance to have a cheap and portable ...

If there’s one thing that will surely blind us, its reading resistor color bands. It doesn’t help that red looks exactly like orange, brown and black are indistinguishable, and different component ...

As a young techie, learning resistor colour codes was a big deal – a big accomplishment. Are you young whippersnappers of today following suit? I remember my earliest youthful forays into ...
