MIT Scratch & MIT App. Inventor and the Resistor Color Code

Resistor Color Code

Learning the resistor color code is fundamental to the study of electronics. A cool way to strengthen your understanding of the resistor color code is to write a basic program that will either decode your color code or encode your resistor value.

MIT Scratch Programming  

Embedded below is my MIT Scratch program that decodes the resistor color code. Click on the green flag to start the program. You can also visit my MIT Scratch Profile Page

MIT App. Inventor

I also challenged myself to create a color code generator using MIT App. Inventor.  The app allows the user to select the desired resistor value using sliders and when the color code button is pushed a message appears stating the correct color code for the selected resistor value. 

Download the App.

You can download this application from my GitHub ResistorColorCode.apk.
