In Topic: How Do I Calculate Resistor Value

31 August 2011 - 05:27 PM

I guess I am a wannabe dude... Not knowing ahead of time what I would need over time and picturing myself spending hundreds of dollars in gas to buy 1's and 2's at radio shack, I just got the 73 Values Set. I'll probably never use 90% of them. But... My little one liked sorting out the colors and categorizing them into a plastic drawer case. Also, I've been playing around with serializing and paralleling them to get exact values calculated by the equations. It appeals to my anal-retentive side. :D


The key word for you would be "decade box". You can find them starting around $100. You can "dial in" the resistance you want without stacking in series and parallel.

here is one on Amazon...

If you do this professionally, then there are higher end devices such as this...

(Note: I used to work for IET Labs. They've been making these forever...)
