How resistor color codes are calculated
Resistor color bands map to digits, multipliers, and tolerance values.
Four-band resistors use two digits, a multiplier, and tolerance. Five-band resistors use three digits, a multiplier, and tolerance.
Choose the band colors to compute resistance and min/max values.
