These programs are in the form of Yahoo! Widgets which require installation of the Yahoo! (Konfabulator) Widget Engine. Yahoo! Widgets are coded in XML and javascript.

They are packaged as zipped Widgets (with extension .widget) inside a zipped folder. The code can be examined by unzipping the .widget files.

Download figures are the final download counts at the close of the Yahoo! Widget Gallery.


AC 3-Phase Calculator (Downloads: 4,317)

NetCalc - an RF Impedance Calculator (Downloads: 23,979)
image
NetCalc is broadly based on the program NETCALC by Ian White. NETCALC was described by Ian as a simple impedance calculator for working out Radio Frequency network design ideas.

This Widget can be used on Windows and on older version of macOS (before 10.11 El Capitan).

You may also use the new web version or download the files for local use in your browser.

NGR Converter (Downloads: 5,863)

image
NGR Converter is a National Grid Reference to latitude and longitude converter.

The Widget converts between British National Grid References, latitude and longitude, and IARU Locators.

Ohm's Law Calculator (Downloads: 24,545)
image
This is a special purpose calculator which performs simple calculations using Ohm's Law. Given any two of the four quantities - voltage, current, resistance or power - the Widget calculates the values of the other two.

You may also use the new web version or download the files for local use in your browser.

Resistors (Downloads: 22,247)

image

The Resistors Widget is a special purpose calculator which can be used to decode the colored bands on resistors (and some small capacitors).

Roman Kalculator

image

This is a general purpose calculator which also features Roman numbers.

image Version 1.0

Roman Kalculator Hex

image

This is a general purpose calculator which also features Roman and hexadecimal numbers.

image Version 1.0

Sunrise Calculator (Downloads: 20,063)
image
Sunrise Calculator computes and displays the times of sunrise and sunset, given a latitude, a longitude and a date.

The Widget can make allowances for altitudes of up to 15,240 metres (50,000 feet). The altitude compensation calculation, performed by the Widget, is not part of the published algorithm, on which the main calculation is based, and should be treated with caution.

This new version also computes and displays the times of moonrise and moonset.

TLC - Transmission Line Calculator (Downloads: 2,482)

image

This is a special purpose calculator which performs transmission line calculations. Various geometries are possible with the hot and cold conductors having elliptic or rectangular shapes. The Widget calculates the line characteristics and displays the voltage field.

Toric Lens Converter

image



image Version 2.0

This is a special purpose calculator which converts toric lens descriptions between the two standard formats. It can also add the powers of two toric lines.

Tx Line Calculator (Downloads: 3,135)
image
This is a special purpose calculator which performs simple transmission line calculations. Given three line parameters, the Widget calculates the value of a fourth. Two formulae are used, one for coaxial cable, the other for parallel line.

Wiring Calculator
image
This is a special purpose calculator which performs simple wiring calculations for copper wires used in low voltage circuits. Given three of the four quantities circuit length, current, wire cross section and voltage drop, the Widget calculates the value of the fourth.

WARNING: The calculator was designed to calculate the voltage drop in low voltage (12/24 volt) marine circuits where the voltage drop due to long wire circuits is more often a problem than the current carrying capacity of the wires. No attempt has been made to ensure that the results of any of the Widget's calculations conform to current electrical codes, such as the NEC or IEC codes. Users must check these and other safety matters for themselves.

The user can choose to work in SI units or USA units.
