Check on the values of a resistor with this app

Resistor Color Codes is a resistor color code interpreter that is really quick to use. There are no menus or options and it also always shows the numbers represented by the different colours.

Installation is quick through the Google Play store.

Resistor Color Codes can be used to identify 4, 5, and 6 band resistors by tapping on the options at the top. The bands are then listed below. Click on a band to select a colour and the details are automatically updated.

The app will also show the nearest E product number for the currently selected values.

Although the presentation is much better than the alternative Resistor Color Code, it does require several taps for each band whereas the other shows all the colours all the time.

It doesn't have a reverse mode as does Resistor Color Code so it is less useful if you want to find a resistor with particular values.
