Re: [Discussion] PCB Calculator: Resistor calculator

 

Recently there was a user with similar wish in the forum
for E12 parallel/serial calculator (what is your lower tab ?)

You will find another code for E values <12 on my web page as E96
from the IN30TCD page are already available with many values:

Combinations with two/three/four considered automatically if its worth.
See the description on how the formats for parallel serial are shown.
Should be easy to convert from Java to C. I rarely used for inductors and capacitors as they have typical higher tolerance what normally does not need exact match for the design. Would prefer a separate tab for filter design and AC calculations

Dmitry,

I find your English perfect and your calculator a good start.

Personally, I use calculators when I cannot do something in my head easily or fast.

On that note, in the upper block, I would recommend:

- also calculate second component when first value and result are given

- given voltage across components, calculate power dissipation, voltage across each, etc.

- how about adding combination circuits RC, LC, LCR, etc. and calculating corner frequency, impedance, etc.

You can search online electronic calculators to find more ideas to make it more advanced.

That would be my wish list. Thank you for considering.

Hello, everyone.

Now I'm working on the resistor/capacitor/inductor calculator.
In the attachment - very preliminary version of the design.
Upper block - for calculating result from two known values.
Lower block - vice versa, for finding the configuration and values of
two components for target value.
Please, don't hit me too hard, I did this while crossing the Ballmer Peak.
I really hope for feedback and opinion.

P.S. And sorry for my bad English. English isn't my native language, so
I swear, I try to work on it every day.
