Resistor
A CLI resistor tool
I was tired of plugging in resistor codes into various web page forms. I wanted to just type them, and I mainly wanted to re-remember how to build an Elixir escript, and then use IO.ANSI
color codes to show the band colors in in the command line.
Build
This uses Escript. After cloning this repo, use mix escript.build
to build and then run with ./resistor
like:
./resistor black red red gold
Future plans
Eventually, I may need to add a flag to reverse the process. Input a value and return the color codes. But I probably need to clean up after the kids for now.
