Sometimes I need a task that doesn’t require a lot of thinking, like reducing the entropy of a bag of mixed SMD resistors…
I’ve heard tell of a TV-thing that serves the same purpose. Dunno when you’d have time to sort your resistors, though.
Resistors being marked, I didn’t need those SMD tweezers.
(Yes, this makes no sense. It’s mindless. Sometimes, ya just gotta do this stuff. OK?)

Kind of like the old fashioned evenings filled with needle work:
To make it authentic and wholesome you should invite people over for an evening of smd sorting, story telling and mulled wine.
Or just some vanilla shots…
Probably wouldn’t do much for the entropy reduction part of the project, though.
Tip – don’t invite Woody Allen around…
– jus happened upon the Russian language dubbed version, which perhaps adds to the hubris…
And that is why you must put your sorted SMD components away much more often than you think necessary…
[…] because the brightness varies with the number of active segments. With 470 Ω resistors (yes, from that assortment) in place, the variation became much more obvious; the LEDs are operating far down on their […]
