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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
