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 ...

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 ...

Messing around with Arduino can lead to some fun projects — like simple electronic games, lighting or audio manipulation, or even gesture controls for other devices. However, you'll need the right ...

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 ...

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 ...
