ResistorCalculator

Automation for calculate resistors value

Information for people who don't have knowledge about resistors;

   - We begin to read colors on the resistor with the closest color to edge so that's it.

You have two option;

• key to color; This option requires color values on the resistor to calculate numeric value of resistor. This app doesn't use tolerance value while calculating the Ohm.

How it works

for example if your value of resistor is 2.6 ohm; you need to enter your firstInteger and secondInteger like, they're single number without point between them (as 26), then you need to find your point place like; if we divide 26 to 0.1 it gives us 2.6 and, it means our pointPlace has value as 0.1.

point place is a multipler value;

multipler_values = {
    "black": 1, "brown": 10, "red": 100, "orange": 1000, "yellow": 10000,
    "green": 100000, "blue": 1000000, "gold": 0.1, "silver": 0.01
}

we need to multiple this value and color values;

main_color_values = {
    "black": 0, "brown": 1, "red": 2, "orange": 3, "yellow": 4, "green": 5,
    "blue": 6, "purple": 7, "gray": 8, "white": 9
}

• color to key; takes color values from you and makes reverse process to get key value of the resistor

TODO FOR GETTING IT IS AS A DESKTOP APP

for linux;

1- Make it executable

chmod +x resCalc.py

2- Access your application folder from this command

sudo (your favorite text editor) /home/$USER/.local/share/applications/resCalc.desktop

3- paste this lines to your text editor

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Terminal=True
Icon=/home/berkay/Masaüstü/SelfMade/res-logo.png
Name=Res Calc
Exec=/home/(username)/(repository's path)/resCalc.py

4- save and search it from your app menu
