gResistor is a Gnome resistor color code calculator.
To allow for identification, resistors are usually marked with colored bands. Often refered to as color codes, these markings are indicative of their resistance, tolerance and temperature coefficient. gResistor helps you translate resistor color codes into a readable value. All you have to do is watch the colors on the resistor and then enter them in the program. As you enter colours you’ll see that the resistor value is changing accordingly.

[...] gResistor = É um aplicativo simples que nos permite testar o valor de um resistor pelo seu código de cores. Muito útil para iniciantes em eletronica e que ainda precisam de uma tabela de cores e seus respectivos valores de resistência. O software encontra-se disponivel apenas para Linux.

edit: the yellow as tolerance is also missing. the meter was not warmed up, so the .2 is likely a mis-measurement
i have an actual 5-band resistor here, which i cannot reproduce in gresistor – orange, blue, black, gold, yellow. it measures 36.2 ohms. is this multiplicator missing (x0.1) ?
Hi Michael,
I’ll check this and let you know for a fix.
Thanks.
