Capacitor Code Decoder Program

[@Jonas_Keunecke]

That's very cool, kindof want to get that calculator now

[@TheEPROM9]

@@Jonas_Keunecke It is quite a nice pocket computer.

[@Jonas_Keunecke]

@@TheEPROM9 Yeah cool, thanks, I think I will be looking :)

[@weaselbox6746]

love this! works good!

[@TheEPROM9]

Thought it would be handy.

[@ronaldhudson169]

You can save calculations in 50 and 60 since x*10^y is already in z and need not be computed again.

[@TheEPROM9]

That is true, would be a nice optermisation.

[@gadi70]

Shouldn't there be a multiplication symbol in description on lines 40 and 50?

[@TheEPROM9]

Good spot, corrected it.

[@lukearoo]

i had no idea those little orange caps where labeled so simply, perhaps i should have paid more attention in school .
makes me want to make something to quickly decode my resistors , should i ever get them all mixed up again.

[@TheEPROM9]

Go for it, it is what the whole thing is about. I need to build a cap value to codes converted next. That can be its own program.

[@romanfaktorovich1852]

Strings 50 and 60 should be Q= and U= i guess ;)

[@TheEPROM9]

Yep could of done it that way.

[@helikevin]

@@TheEPROM9 if you did, it would then work like the video

[@romanfaktorovich1852]

Hm... I think you can improve your program to handle all 3 digits at once. Something like this: A = INT(X/10); B = X - A*10 where X is 3 digit input, A is first two digits and B is last digit

[@romanfaktorovich1852]

like this:
10 PRINT "CAP DECODER PRESS EXE"
20 INPUT "WRITE 3 DIGITS",X
30 A=INT(X/10)
40 B=X-A*10
50 Z=A*10^B
60 Q=Z/10^6
70 U=Z/10^3
80 PRINT Z;"pF"
90 PRINT U;"nF"
100 PRINT Q;"uF"

[@TheEPROM9]

That is a nice optimization. Having it take all three at once would be a lot more intuitive.

Ill try this with poss some minor changes using BBC BASIC on my BBC B and BeebEm.🤪

[@TheEPROM9]

@@PeterEdin Go for it. I had to make a few changes to get the CASIO FX-7000G working with it. Mostly syntax. Also some changes for it to work on the PB-700. Mostly to stop the display scroolong.
