One gentle suggestion for version 2 is conversions between pico, nano, and micro farads, and the capacitor codes used for these. Because even though it's easy to do it's still nice when you're feeling cognitively challenged to have a cheet sheet.
I mean, c'mon, i haven't used color codes since High School about 17 years ago and i still remember how to decode them. It's not that hard.
i feel that consulting a table is more time consuming that knowing how to decode it... Usually while working with prototyping you end up with lots of resistors, and i can't see someone checking each one at the time against a table to reveal it's value...
But maybe i'm getting it all wrong, someone?
If I needed to do it daily, I'd get real good real fast.
They're generally pretty nice as resistors go. Do you spec better than that?
[1] I used these when they were Philips, which shows how long it is since I was doing this stuff.
We do use a few 0.1% values in some cal equipment--about $1 each!
edit: nevermind, I scrolled down far enough to find it.
Also, any resistors not in a pcb should be in a nice drawer with a neat label; any resistor in a circuit could give misleading values when multimetered because it's in a circuit.
The effect of colour-blindness can also vary hugely from person to person. Even when they share the same type of colour-vision impairment.
Personally, I believe I tend to avoid relying on information coded in colour through habit, even when I can identify with reasonable accuracy the colours involved. Just as someone who is left handed will avoid complex tasks with their right.
Those people don't get Internet access.
