Might be easier to throw out since resistors are so cheap.
Am I evil for wanting to connect a power supply to that pile.
Where’s the NSFW tag
Automate it in 2 weeks instead of working on it for 3 hours
You’ll know the e12 series by heart and remember it when you are 65. Has some advantages, to recognize resistor value in a wink.
Why would anyone sort these? It’s not worth the money, resistors are cheap. Universities need to stop exploiting students… while charging them a hundred thousand for tuition.
Sort them by ranges, or you will have to buy more drawers than resistors
Time to make a student sort them or make a resistor sorting machine
Gonna need a distribution when you’re done
they better just give you that fucking degree for sorting that for them 😀
Someone probably had the same problem and made an automatic sorting tool for that…
That gives me ideas lol
At least they’re not the surface mount ones. Lol. Old place I worked at moved *entirely* to them.
Just “get rid” of them and bring them to your home lab. You can sort them into your parts drawers at your leisure while you are watching movies or something.
it’s cheaper tu buy new ones then to spend a week sorting those
Imagine having to sort this pile instead of normal detention
Lmao that sucks
Every six months I end up with a pile of components like this, I whack on an audiobook and have a relaxing hour or two separating them. I’m actually envious of this. Sad, I know.
This, with a season or 5 to watch. I would find this very therapeutic, to sort out.
How does this even happen?
What would be the resistance at any two given points ?
$20 worth of parts, $100+ worth labour to sort!
And to days lectures we learn Hot to measures resistance by multimeter and how to read resistor colot codes.
Gore.
Step 1: throw them away.
Step 2: buy sorted set of resistors and capacitors.
/r/mildlyinfuriating
Get autoranging multimeter, fix probes in vice, touch resistors, make piles
I have a special bin that sorts these.
Great news, your going to be an expert on computer vision! Time to buy a raspberry pi, a 3d printer and some servos.
Sort them all in the trash. Buy a fresh organized set that haven’t been abused. Alternatively, develop an ai driven pick and place sorter to do it for you. Remember, why pay someone or something to do it for you for $100 when you can spend thousands to do it yourself?
Here should be some witty Cinderella joke, but I failed to come up with one.
It is absolutely not worth the time. And in fact it’s worse than that.
1/4 watt 1% tolerance resistors cost around 1 cent each. So yeah, you can save several dollars by sorting those resistors out. But how much time is it going to cost someone in troubleshooting time or repairing damage down the road when someone uses an incorrectly-sorted resistor?
We use SMT chip resistors here, which are a lot smaller and harder to read, and if they get mixed up, dumped on a bench, or whatever, the whole lot just gets swept right into the trash.
