# ResistorLabels

This script generates labels for resistor zip bags.

It is meant for AVERY 5260 or AVERY L7157 labels and 7x10cm (3"x4") zip bags.

The generated labels include:

-   Resistor value

-   4- and 5-band color codes

-   3- and 4-digit smd codes

-   EIA-96 smd code



# Usage

-   Install python3

-   Install the python3 library `reportlab`. This library is used to do the actual PDF generation.

-   Add your own required resistor values in `main()` of `LabelGenerator.py`.

-   If using Avery L7157, change the `layout` value in `main()` to `AVERY_L7157`.

-   Run the script `LabelGenerator.py`!

It will now generate a `ResistorLabels.pdf` that can be used to print onto AVERY 5260/L7157.

For all the non-programmers, there are also pre-generated versions with all

common resistor values for [Avery 5260](./CommonValuesAvery5260.pdf) and [Avery L7157](./CommonValuesAveryL7157.pdf).

# Troubleshoot

-	if label comes out misagliend like this: , follow below steps to troubleshoot

# More Details

This is based on an idea from Zach Poff.
