The Maker's Knife is a single-file knife with 6 tools that runs entirely in your browser. The Maker's Knife gives electronics enthusiasts, students, and professionals a portable reference bench that works anywhere. Read resistor color codes, calculate Ohm's law relationships, simulate logic gates with truth tables, compute PWM parameters, look up I²C addresses, and watch time in binary — all from a single HTML file on any device.
Click colour bands to read resistance values, or enter a value to see the matching bands. Supports 4, 5, and 6-band resistors with tolerance.
Enter any two of voltage, current, resistance, and power — the other two are calculated instantly with unit scaling.
Build logic circuits from AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR, and XNOR gates. Toggle inputs and watch outputs propagate with truth tables.
Compute duty cycle, frequency, period, and on/off times for PWM signals. Useful for servo control, LED dimming, and motor speed.
