Resistor Calculator

Welcome to the Resistor Calculator repository! This tool is designed to help you easily calculate the resistance of a resistor by selecting its color bands. Whether you’re a student, hobbyist, or professional in electronics, this calculator will simplify your work and save you time.

Features

  • User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive design for quick and easy calculations.
  • Color Band Input: Supports 3, 4, 5, and 6-band resistors.
  • Accurate Calculations: Provides precise resistance values based on standard color codes.
  • Educational Tool: Great for learning and teaching about resistor color codes and electronics.
  • Background customization: Provides a button to customize the background.

How to Use

  • Dowload the installer on : https://github.com/TheFlame09/resistor-calculator/tree/main/versions/LATEST
  • Select the Number of Bands: Choose whether your resistor has 3, 4, 5, or 6 color bands.
  • Input the Colors: Select the color of each band.
  • Calculate: Click the “Enter” button to get the resistance value.
  • Reset: Click the "Reset" button to reset the value of the resistor.

Tips for Reading Resistors

  • Always read from left to right.
  • For 3-band resistors, the first band is usually the nearest to the edge.
  • For 5 and 4-band resistors, the tolerance band is usually spaced further apart from the other bands.
  • For 6-band resistors, the tolerance and temperature coefficient bands are typically grouped together at the end.
