Nice one.

Good trscher

Appreciate Video clip! Sorry for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you ever tried - Runayslarn Survival Manifestation (do a google search)? It is a smashing exclusive product for discovering how to repair your electronic items minus the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my best friend Jordan at very last got amazing success with it.

Your purple is violet here.

@@golo5000 I know right? LOL! Have you seen these intrusive people chimming in to reply my comment?

use your ohm meter to read value of res. most are 1% or less tolerance

It's gold or silver on the right side, always . I think silver is safer .

@@wellusee no it's not

most res to day are from china they are high quality and cheap they read exactly what the states examp 540 ohms will test 540 exact with you meter (0% error )they come 10 to a card all values dirt cheap but very good -- just order assorted the sent you a sack full

The colour coding on '5-band' resistors is typically not very readable even if you aren't colour blind, so I do the same.

StigDesign1 It’s made by Vishay. You might still be able to order one from them.

Oh nice, Thank you :D

I was taught that one too :-) if it's the one that ends "go without" :-)

@@crankjazz It was 'getting worried' when I was an apprentice - much the same, overall ;) !

Excellent episode, Karen. Do keep up the good work. Now... if Karen's job is to help new electronics hobbyists get up to speed in an interesting an engaging way then she's doing a good job. Same for Felix and his episodes for Linux - maybe dub it down a bit more for those, like me, who find getting on with Linux really unintuitive... ...but if part of their respective jobs (as I expect) is to help viewers get up to speed so they can get more out of the 'main show', as well as develop personal skills and interest, then the 'main show' is letting them and their viewers down terribly! Karen, please keep up the good work. But also, please, have a word with whomever is making the creative decisions for the channel because at best they are getting it wrong, while at worst I suspect there is actually no discussed plan / direction in place. If I'm making any (hopefully helpful) sense then please look up my (hopefully constructive) criticism posted in the comments on today's 'main episode': The Shrimp of Terror. A suggestion: Once you've done covering the basics it may be worth a practicable project to: -help cement what the viewer has learned -give the viewer something newly within their grasp to achieve -give yourself a leg-up so you don't run out of steam for the next series In a way a part of the fun of the Ben Heck Show was watching Ben learn his craft as well as seeing the projects themselves. So.. How about a DIY computer project at some point, if you don't feel that's a step too far? -Not from scratch! That's too much too soon. But, maybe, one of the many self-build kits that are available I'd suggest looking in to buying a Harlequin 128 kit (or similar) to put together on the show, especially as related builds have been featured on the 'main show' in the past. -You, and the viewer playing along, would end up with a fully functional ZX Spectrum clone; so it would be 'useful' achievement when complete -Being based on standard TTL logic (no mysterious ULA) it may then open the door to future shows and summary projects -Being based on a currently well supported old system you can then tart-it-up with readily available cases / expansions / projects as a lead in to new topics and projects. All the best. X

The panic button , sometimes known as the push button momentary switch, can't be beat as the starting point for digital electronics.

Search for the side in the resistor which has gold or silver band and place that side downward and start from top

Gold or silver is always last, read from where the first band is closes to the end of the resistor

Is it possible one has an extra band? There are 4 and 5 band resistor codes. Maybe it's hard to see?

tank to the guy tath does not exist that i am 12 and i have good eyes! i mean i am 13year old i made 13 on 31 august

Please can you explain me

You sad 🙄

🤣😂

yes any res reading is continuity thru the res.

Also do a full episode on the TO-package system (or transistor packages in general)!

Silver & gold mostly for tolerance

Plenty! Electricians were always a coarse bunch ...

I'm new and I taught she put so much so well in such a short time I keep returning for the charts alone . Good class though.

mostly by size. What got you started in electronics?

Thanks 😊

I find that I have trouble discerning different colors on some of the cheaper resistors, especially the super tiny ones, so I too often find myself testing them anyway 😞

It's good to have the lookup tables to first pick it out of your stash. But, I agree with you, no matter how certain you got the right one by the markings, that check is worth the trouble. Sometimes you get one that is too far out of tolerance to accept in your project.

@@AirborneSurfer Good idea to invent a band reader scanner.🙄

nice

Leave her alone 😳
