Resistor Calculator

Resistor Calculator is a pretty straightforward application, meaning you won't really have much to do with it unless you need to calculate a resistor. This also implies you are well acquainted with the electrical domain and all of its components. If this is the case and need to find out the value of a resistor within a circuit you are building or dealing with, this program will be very helpful.

The program will ask the user to input a sequence for the resistor that is to be calculated. A guideline is also offered which is based on color codes for greater accuracy. Calculation results are shown in the top-right corner and are done in ohm, the associated unit of measurement for such electrical components.

I found the program to be quite helpful since I have some minimal knowledge in the field. The more you know, of course, means more results in the end. This is one of those applications that can truly release its power once the user is more knowledgeable in the field it serves.

What I really liked about this program is how everything is clearly labeled, and the user is left with making the most out of the simple layout. You do have to connect some dots in order to arrive at a valid conclusion. Ultimately, this means that the program is intuitive, since you won't have to waste time finding the right value for a specifically colored resistor.

In smaller projects, this application can truly prove helpful. It is in situations where you rely on more than resistors to reach your final goal that might pose a problem for this app, or at least in its simple form. One could pair it with other related software for a more complex perspective in this case. Regardless, this program is reliable and friendly with any type of user.
