The majority of devices in the PIC12 and PIC16 Midrange devices use this instruction set. It’s very similar to the 12 Bit PIC Instruction Set but the increased opcode width allows 128 registers and 2048 words of code to be directly addressed.

There are three different types of resistor color coding. They vary by providing different information in a different number of color bands. I’ve looked around for a decent chart that I could share and stumbled upon this freeware. It’s provided by moyerelectronics.com. I’ve installed it and played with it and found it to be accurate. Here’s a screenshot and a download link.
Create a folder, and extract the contents of the zip file into it. Double click the setup.exe file and you’re all set.

BRUSSELS | Intel Corp. Chief Executive Paul Otellini vowed Wednesday to appeal the $1.45 billion fine the European Commission imposed on the world’s dominant maker of semiconductors, insisting his company did not harm consumers or violate European law. Intel controls 80 percent of the microchip market and abused that monopoly position by demanding computer manufacturers use its chips …
