# Reverse Resistor Color Code Generator


The other night I happened to see a tweet come across my twitter stream from Joe Walnes ([@joewalnes](http://www.twitter.com/joewalnes)) about a resistor color code tool he created.  You can find it at the clever domain [resisto.rs](http://resisto.rs).  Type in a value and see what the proper color code should be.  This is great for when you need to go searching through a pile of resistors and want to make sure you have the code right.

Nice job [@joewalnes](http://www.twitter.com/joewalnes)!

Also, you can fork the code from [github](https://github.com/joewalnes/resisto.rs/).
