| EPAIII:
This conversation makes me wonder if there may be a need for some kind of color recognition device. Not just for resistors/inductors or other electronic devices, but more general. Perhaps something that could be built into a pair of glasses. But then, perhaps that already exists. I don't have time to do that search. |

Place a sheet of white paper off to the side (and in view) so that the color balancing will work. --- Quote from: EPAIII on August 25, 2022, 12:56:25 am ---This conversation makes me wonder if there may be a need for some kind of color recognition device.

Just measure them. This system is ridiculous. I have the red/green deficiency too and always thought people with normal color vision just see stuff where I usually stumble. Thanks for this thread… |

It's easier when you have the device in front of you and can compare it with other stuff on the board and try a better light. In comparison, decoding markings from somebody's single small picture is like reading tea leaves. |
