Abstract
This paper presents the design and development of a resistor colour code calculator and interpreter application, with Graphical User Interface (GUI) for easy identification of resistors by their colour codes, and also for finding colour codes of various resistances. A resistor is an electronics component that opposes the flow of current in a circuit. Resistors are one of the most common electronics components in use today. They are found in virtually all electronic devices and gadgets. Overtime, colour codes have been used to indicate resistances of resistors, and charts have been designed to help in the interpretation of these colour codes. In the electronic age, it has become necessary to have a way of easily identifying resistors by their colour codes, without necessarily having an exposure to the theory of resistor colour codes. This will make resistor identification easy and accessible to everyone. To this end, there is a need to develop an application (for desktop and smartphone) that will make this process a stress-free one, even to the layman. The design of the application presented in this paper was archived using Python programming language, and its Tkinter GUI library. Results of this application were accurate when compared to the conventional resistor colour codin techniques. This offline application will go a long way in saving the time lost in searching for solution on websites or from textbooks, and assure accuracy of results.
