Switch between reading a resistor's bands and finding the bands for a target value.
$ probing for tools that don't quite exist as a set anywhere else
Fourteen small instruments for the hobbyist bench — resistor codes, subnets, Morse, trace widths, and more. Everything below computes right here in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.
Electronics Bench
resistors · power · timing · copper · wire
Enter exactly two known values and clear the others, then solve.
Standard series RC charging network.
Estimates minimum copper trace width for a given current and allowed temperature rise.
Fill Vin, R1, R2 to get Vout — or fill Vin, R1, Vout and leave R2 blank to solve for it.
Enter the marking printed on a ceramic or film cap, like 104 or 47.
Ballpark figures for chassis wiring, not a building-code ampacity table.
Network Bench
subnets · radios
2.4GHz channels are 5MHz apart but ~22MHz wide, so most of them overlap. Only 1, 6, and 11 are fully clear of each other.
Signals & Data
morse · hashes · bases · time
Safe up to 2^53 — this is a bench tool, not a bignum library.
Bench Utilities
batteries · solder · this device · this keyboard
Live Instruments
mic scope · tone generator
Uses your mic as a live signal source — hum, whistle, tap a coil to a speaker, or clap and watch it on the trace. Audio stays in this tab; nothing is recorded or sent anywhere.
A basic function generator through your speakers or headphones — handy for testing audio gear, piezo buzzers, or your own hearing range. Starts quiet on purpose.
