Know Your Resistors
COMMON RESISTOR VALUES: Resistors are electronic components that have a
specific, never-changing electrical resistance. The resistor’s resistance limits the flow
of electrons through a circuit. Included in your kit are both 330Ω resistors and 10kΩ
resistors, two very common values that can be used in numerous circuits.
IDENTIFYING OTHER RESISTORS
MOST RESISTORS, not just the ones included with your SparkFun Inventor’s Kit, use
the same system of colored bands to identify how much resistance they can provide to a
circuit. FOR MOST BASIC RESISTORS, SIMPLY ADD TOGETHER VALUES OF
THE FIRST THREE COLOR BANDS TO GET THE TOTAL RESISTANCE VALUE.
