One of the first things you learn in electronics is how to identify a resistor’s value. Through-hole resistors have color codes, and that’s generally where beginners begin. But why are they ...

As explained by Arduino to Go, each color band on the resistor corresponds to a number but this can differ depending on the band's placement. It's not complicated, but the sheer number of colors ...

The fun of having a giant resistor-shaped Ohmmeter is that it reads back the resistance by displaying the color code. If you’re not too hot with decoding those bands there’s a helper band to ...
