Finding the 500 ohm resistor color code quickly
I had been rummaging through my spare parts rubbish bin the other day time and realized We couldn't remember the 500 ohm resistor color code off the top of my head, which is annoying when you're in the particular middle of the project. Usually, we're dealing with 470 ohm or 1k ohm resistors since they're standard E24 values, but every now and then, a specific routine requires exactly 500 ohms. If you're staring at a pile of tiny striped components and attempting to figure out which one is the correct one, don't worry—it's actually pretty simple once you break it down. ...
