Resistor Color Code Calculator

Here is another handy (lazy) way to find your resistor values.

I used it this week when bread boarding a transmitter circuit and it is useful if your meter is not around.

Now if I can only get that first resistor in my QRP circuit to stop smoking I will be set.

Here is an easy online tool for calculating resistor values. It almost feels like cheating.

By spinning the wheel and matching up the colors your right on the money with the correct values.

Of course it might be a good idea to recheck the resistor with your meter to learn and get use to its general operation.

Another way to remember the colors on a resistor is the old saying "Bad Boys" etc. well you might know the rest but its not nice to talk about Violet that way.

Lets keep in clean.
