I once worked with an engineer that often checked his resistors with a multimeter before use. I just assumed that he was just being careful (certainly more careful than I…). Then one day, he asked me ...

Check out the resistor color code reference cards I just whipped up. I was inspired by the PCB versions that Octopart has been crowdfunding this week. Those didn’t have the information I would ...

[Alex Busman]’s first foray in iOS programming looks like a pretty useful tool. He came up with Ohm Sense, an iPhone app that will take a picture of a resistor and calculate the value based on the ...

The resistor color code is a long-standing standard in both the electronics and electrical industries which indicates the value of resistance of a resistor. Ohm’s Law is the foundation of measuring ...
