Great news! I just received a brand-new batch of resistors.
Bad news! I mixed them up, and my multimeter is funky, so I’m left to learn the peculiar skill of reading resistor bands.
I had a go at one yesterday for a short while — around 10 minutes — and I was already confused by which direction to read it. It’s a five-band, so there’s no obvious gap in the middle.
Plus, I had a hard time telling the colours apart. To the extent that I needed my phone’s flashlight. 😭
Forgive my possible ignorance, but why can’t you guys just print the value out?
P.S. I’ve also received a new toolbox. I feel a wee bit more important now.
