resistorendecode 0.1.2

Tool to decode or encode resistance color codes

ResistorEn​Decode

This is a code copy (not a fork) from https://github.com/VoxelCubes/ResistorDecoder.
Its a copy because, there are some infrastructure changes made which may not be very compatible with the original code base.

This is a standalone Qt GUI tool for color bands on through-hole resistors and number codes on SMD parts. It supports 3, 4, 5, and 6 band resistors, as well as standard SMD codes, including the EIA-96 standard.

3 or 4 Bands	5 Bands
6 Bands	SMD

With this version you can also encode resistance values.

Features

• Encode resistance values
• Decode the resistance and tolerance, as well as the Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (for 6 band resistors).
• Can parse SMD codes¹, including the EIA-96 standard.
• Respects your system's Qt theming.

Dependencies

PySide6

pip install PySide6

Installation

git clone https://github.com/AlfredoCubitos/ResistorEnDeCode
cd ResistorEnDecode
python src/main.py

Notes

1. Tolerance values are only standardized for EIA-96 codes and codes with short underlines. Check the manufacturer's datasheet if the tolerance is critical for your application.
