With surface-mount components quickly becoming the norm, even for homebrew hardware, the resistor color-code can sometimes feel a bit old-hat. However, anybody who has ever tried to identify a random ...

A maker shared an electronics project on Digikey that explains an automatic system for recognizing and organizing resistors using an Arduino Uno Q. Zach Hipps did the work and looked for methods to ...

Some people look at a venerable resource like resistor color code charts and see something tried and true, but to [Andrew Jeddeloh], there’s room for improvement. A search for a more intuitive way is ...

The temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR), also referred to as RTC, is a performance characteristic that is heavily influenced by resistor construction for very low resistance values and can be ...
