He came up with Ohm Sense, an iPhone app that will take a picture of a resistor and calculate the value based on the color bands. It’s a great tool that we wish we had when we were starting out.

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 ...

Tolerance is a measure of the resistor's precision. A lower tolerance indicates a resistance with less possible deviation from the indicated resistance value. For coded standalone resistors, the ...

It turns out that Don used a paper clip! Simple is usually best. We’ve shared mnemonics for remembering the resistor color code. Bill Traue, principal of Bill Traue Technical Service LLC, was taught ...

The correct answer is A, "51 K ohms ± 5%." So a resistor with four bands, green-brown-orange-gold, has a value of: 5 1 x 1000 ± 5% or 51 KΩ. Reference: Goettsche, L.D. (Editor), Maintenance of ...

In such cases, the resistors (typically 10K Ohm with a resistor color code of brown-black-orange) are known as either pull-up or pull-down. A pull-up resistor connects your input directly to a ...

Some resistor, capacitor networks are used to suppress transmission-line effects on high speed data lines in order to improve system performance and reduce the cost of passive components. Other RC ...

The K11 R2R has FiiO’s first four-channel fully differential 24-bit R2R DAC. The brand developed this in-house and it has 2 x ...

When resistors are connected in series, the current through each resistor is the same. In other words, the current is the same at all points in a series circuit. When resistors are connected in ...

the studio and Will Smith are already looking to the future as he is attached to star in Sony’s Resistor. Based on the book Influx by bestselling author Daniel Suarez, the first draft of the ...

24bit R2R DAC Resistor Arrays: This FiiO in-house developed feature incorporates ... giving a quick way to identify the sampling rate of the current audio being played back. Brightness, color, light ...
