I bought a set of these a few weeks ago.<p><a href="https://www.tindie.com/products/NsN/pcb-color-sample-set/?pt=directsearch" rel="nofollow">https://www.tindie.com/products/NsN/pcb-color-sample-set/?pt...</a>
This is lovely.<p>One gentle suggestion for version 2 is conversions between pico, nano, and micro farads, and the capacitor codes used for these. Because even though it's easy to do it's still nice when you're feeling cognitively challenged to have a cheet sheet.
Hmmm, meybe i'm getting this wrong, but... Isn't a color code too basic to be in a card in your pocket?<p>I mean, c'mon, i haven't used color codes since High School about 17 years ago and i still remember how to decode them. It's not that hard.<p>i feel that consulting a table is more time consuming that knowing how to decode it... Usually while working with prototyping you end up with lots of resistors, and i can't see someone checking each one at the time against a table to reveal it's value...<p>But maybe i'm getting it all wrong, someone?
Like the SM footprints, but I'm not sure I see the point of the resistor color code chart these days (If I do spec a through hole resistor, 99% of the time it'll be a 1%).
This is way better, too bad it's over. :(<p><a href="http://www.pozible.com/project/31806" rel="nofollow">http://www.pozible.com/project/31806</a>
It's fun, but I'm not sure what it's for as I can look up these things on the internets if I forget. Is this just an executive engineer gadget?
