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 ...

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 ...

Younger electronic engineers may see resistors with old-style color codes to display their values a little less than those from previous years, but if there’s a shibboleth among those who wield a ...
