Resistor Colour Wheel (To do yourself)

[titi]

Hi,

I have found an original design to learn reading resistors.

Explanations :  http://robives.com/blog/resistor_colour_wheel

Best regards.

I learned it as...."Bad Boys Rape Only Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly"
Then I realized it is simply the color spectrum such as in a rainbow.

in french

Ne Manger Rien Ou Jeuner Voila Bien Votre Grande Betise

N Noir
M Marron
R Rouge
O Orange
J  Jaune
V  Vert
B   Bleu
V  Violet
G  Gris
B   Blanc

Blue, Violet, Gray, White is not the "rainbow" progression.

from what i could check blue and violett are part of colors included in a rainbow, white, grey and black are not but white is split up into the spectrum. black doesnt reflect any light at so its not exactly a color since it absorbs all off them but i guess this can be debated on.

best regards

Wel here is the dutch one

Zij Bracht Rozen op Gerrits Graf bij Vies Grauw Weer!

Z = Zwart (black)
B = Bruin (brown)
R = Rood (red)
o = Oranje (orange)
Ge = Geel (yellow)
Gr = Groen (green)
B = Blauw (blue)
V = Violet (violet)
G = Grauw (gray)
W = Wit (white)

Funny how none of these ever mention gold or silver.  You'd think that whore Violet would demand it....

How about:

Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly for Gold or Silver

Interesting how violet is the same in English French and Dutch but be why  7 is a luck number.

When i was learning, my instructor taught me like this...

"Bad Boys raped orphan young girls behind Victoria garden walls"

and with experience, you will see numbers instead of the colour wheels.

to MichelM : Cocorico !

[Jagrolet]

Yeah, I learned the Bad Boys thing from my instructor too.
How about we bring this into the modern day...

Boycot Banded Resistors Otherwise You Get Bad Value, Go With Good Surfacemount

B B ROY of Great Britain had a Very Good Wife wearing GOLD and SILVER

By the way this is excellent for beginners and is limited to 4 band calculations. It would be great if some one has similar for 5 band codes which is usually a headache.

I'm attempting to design a four and a five band code wheel exclusively for Sonsivri members. I should be able to complete it on my days off work.
