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.
great tool.
not sure why theres any tracking on an app as simple as this.
It says it supports 5 bands but can only access 4.
There is no settings button, gear, preferences, etc., that I can find. Only shows 4 bands. Not sure how to change to 5 bands.
Weird notation
Why would I want to know what 1.5x10^5 ohm is? Couldn’t there be a way to swap to just say 150k ohms? It is a nice app, otherwise.
What does it need Bluetooth access for?
Good little app that does exactly what you need it to - visually decoding/encoding the values and color bands of resistors. In that aspect, it’s flawless. Five+ years later, though, and I still can’t figure out why every so often it asks me to grant Bluetooth access permission 🤔
Give me an option to send you money!
This is handy. Thanks!
Great - But Needs Precision Option
Extremely helpful for standard resistors with four color bands. Would be nice to have a 5 band option. I would pay if the app allowed the camera to ID the colors, if fast and reliable.
Why does it want access to Bluetooth?
After upgrading my phone I found that this app is wanting to access my Bluetooth connection. Why? No good reason lots of bad ones in terms of privacy but maybe I shouldn’t be surprised with it being a free app. The user is the product being sold.
