I have made a resistor color code calculator for the 84+CSE.

Calculates in ohms and the accuracy of the resistor based on the color you input. Features a graphical representation of a resistor. Supports four and five band resistors.

This looks like a great use of the CSE's new features and a useful app for aspiring electronics hobbyists.
Welcome back, ohernandez! I see you have the blue metal-film resistor shape for the background; are you planning on adding a beige (carbon-film) resistor template too? Can it convert colors to value and value to colors? Keep up the good work, let us know about updates, and be sure to upload the finished product to the Cemetech archives.

Right now it can only convert colors to a value. I plan to add the features that you mentioned to my resistor program. I will also add support to three and six band resistors.
Great, glad to hear it. If you finish all that and are still looking for features to add, you could also do conversion of the numeric codes on SMT resistors. Smile
Handy! This is actually something I could see myself using. Time for a Prizm port, since I don't have a CSE.

But those are so easy! I can multiply by 10 mentally just fine, but memorizing color -> digit mappings is further down my list of priorities. Smile
Here the next update of Resistor Color Code.

Includes a graphical menu. It can now convert colors to value and value to colors. It support resistors from three to six bands. You can choose from two color resistor templates.





Great updates, ohernandez! Just an FYI - I rejected your upload because it was a new file rather than an update. Please re-submit as an update to your existing file. There are instructions in your PMs.
