Resistor Code Calculator vs Electrician Handbook

Calculate resistor color codes with this handy reference app. The app is useful for the maker, engineer, student and arduino or raspberry pi tinkerer when working with electronics. Supports 4 and 5-band resistors! The industry standard color-code is used to identify the resistance value of resistors used in all kinds of electronics.
