1% colour codes

I didnt realise that you could get cider in bottles

Wasnt DD a poor excuse for Guiness. But I do remember one Xmas party when I brewed 25gallons of good english beer, but that was before I put new carpets down mainly to cover up the oil stains left after rebuilding a Ducati 750S in my back room. a wonderful machine

That house never really recovered

Sort of On Topic Anyone suggest a DSP kit that takes 24bit/192K audio in. I just need to do L+R to M+S in real time. Its a one off project so I dont want a steep lurning curve

Serious error. All shortcuts have disappeared. Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

Recently I have been using smt resistors with codes on them - how the hell do you figure "768" = 604 ohms, or "010" = 100k.

I made a clip up with some copper pipe hammered to form tweezers, and a plastic clothespeg, and attached leads & banana plugs to it so I can easily measure 0603 Rs and Cs.

OTOH film cannisters are great smt component holders.

It seems that the 0402 is too small for printing any numbers for value. And i have yet to see chip caps that have any markings. However, 0805 and larger chip resistors have decent markings: 2002 =

200*10^2 ohms 1%, 1R00 = 1 ohm 1%, 1654 = 165*10^4 ohms or 1.65 megs 1%, etc; if only 3 digits then it is 5%. In all cases the multiplier is the last digit.

What is the failure rate of the assemblies made under your "no-look" quality assurance plan?

You can do a similar DVM jig for leaded resistors by soldering a couple of paper clips to 4mm terminal pins.

about half of my 0603 R's are so marked. about half have cryptic drivel.

The cap thing is a nuisance, but at least different dielectrics are (usually) different colours.
