Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
The original comment I was trying to post is now irrelevant.
1st try: Apparently there’s a little resistor game I have to monkey with to post a comment.
2nd try: Apparently I am incapable of matching colors due to a bit of color blindness. ;/
3rd try: I know I got it right this time! “You are posting comments too fast… Slow down.”

What in the world is going on here? I’d love to know ^_^
Also, Patrick – the resistor’s value is displayed in text underneath the picture if you can’t make out the colors.

“What in the world is going on here?”
This is what massive amounts of WIN looks like.

Only leaving a comment to prove I am human.

@Brian: the text under the resistor is showing what the sliders are set to, not the resistor’s value unless you’ve set the sliders to the correct positions.
I’m colorblind too and I do find the orange and the green hard to distinguish just by sight.
Real resistors tend to give me problem with browns & reds though. Maybe I need to get my monitor calibrated, although it’s kinda pointless due to my colorblindness..

I’m not colourblind but I can definitely see the issue. For similar reasons I always ask what blind people are supposed to do with a touch interface to pay for products… seriously
