    :) One of my other vices... to be honest I didn't touch the flash or camera. The settings that I shot with are what was in the flash and camera... hey... it worked :D Anyone want to guess what it is? Bonus points to whoever can tell me the value of the resistor, not counting the tolerance band since it's missing (it's gold BTW), WITHOUT looking the color code up :)

    :D You forgot transistors and PIC :D LED Christmas Tree that I built over the holidays. Actually I built 20 of them :) Controlled by a PIC Microcontroller. 13 different light patterns.

    Thanks Gus. Thanks Judy. I guess boredom can be a powerful creative tool :D

    Don't either of you want to try for the bonus points? :)

    My guess would be 670 ohms for the bonus. Cool shot.

    Thanks.
    Nope 560. You were off by one on each band but the last one (pretty common mistake btw)

    Black 0
    Brown 1
    Red 2
    Orange 3
    Yellow 4
    Green 5
    Blue 6
    Violet 7
    Gray 8
    White 9

    The first two bands are Green and Blue, Ie 56. The last one (not counting the tolerance band) is Brown. That is the multiplier exponent. Ie 10^1 or 10. So... 56 x 10 = 560 If it would have been Red it would have been 10^2 or 100... 56 x 100 = 5600 or 5.6kohm...

    I knew the color code at one time - about 46 years ago when I went through the U.S Navy Radioman A school - haven't even thought about it since!!! Nice image...

    Cheers,
