The 4-band resistors are the most common component found in a makers arsenal, and the use of colour bands over numbers makes them easier to manufacture (as they are round in shape). However, reading a colour chart is not exactly simple, so read this guide to learn how to identify 4-band resistors.

Ceramic capacitors are an extremely useful component in electronics, but just like many components, their true value is not printed outright, but instead, as a secrete code which needs to be deciphered! In this guide, learn how the three-number code system works.
Through-Hole Ceramic Capacitors Identification Guide
SMD components are obscenely tiny, but thankfully for us, those over a certain size (around 0603) have a three-number code printed on them to indicate their value. In this guide, learn how to read the value of 0805 resistors.
