Each band has a numerical value e.g Brown=1, Red=2. The calulator will allow you to select each of the colour bands and will then calculate and show the value of the resistor. A resistor can have 3, 4, 5 or 6 bands. Initially only up to five bands will be considered. + +Three Band - Band 1 = Value Band 2 = Value Band 3 = Multiplier +Four Band - Band 1 = Value Band 2 = Value Band 3 = Muliplier Band 4 = Tolerance +Five Band - Band 1 = Value Band 2 = Value Band 3 = Value Band 4 = Multiplier Band 5 = Tolerance + +## User Stories + +- [ ] User can select up to 6 colour bands to represent the value of that band +- [ ] User can view the calulated resistor value based on the colour bands selected +- [ ] User can view the minimum and maximum values calculated based on the selected tolerance for the resistor + +## Bonus features + +- [ ] User should be able to enter the numeric value of the resistor and the app will return the colour code +- [ ] Add sixth band + +## Useful links and resources + +- [Electronic Tutorials](https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/resistor/res_2.html) +- [WikiPedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_color_code) + +## Example projects +- [Coderay.com](https://www.codrey.com/tools/resistor-color-code-calculator/) +- [Resistor Colour Code Calculator](https://resistorcolorcodecalc.com/)
