Tinkering with Wolfram Alpha

Well, this are fine news for people tinkering with stuff. The still new search-engine Wolram Alpha will make any kind of reference book obsolete. The now also translate resistor codes. (repost form Eggshell Robotics)

Yea…

Dunno about resistor codes, i use multimeter. But its super for all kind of timing calculations.

Like trying to find out how big prescaler i should use.

8Mhz/1024/255 and it shows period and so on. Perfect if mixed units are used (24ms/5us is another sample of calcluation what is too complicated for my lazy brain)
