I can't see the color codes on these resistors! Sigh. I have been prescribed bi-focals for years and always declined and get the driving glasses. I cheated and ohmed the resistors out.

You want one? Go to adafruit's Website. She is a smart lady that has many really cool kits to be had!
If you don't do this but want one, you buy the stuff and I'll build it for ya!
You need to buy a lighted magnifier type lamp, the ones with a BIG lens and LEDs or a fluorescent lamp around the lens.
