A simple google would have answered this.
Here's from the first result.

Sorry, I got interupted by my child whilst drafting this thread, did not realise it had gone out unfinished.

That is is the colour code as I understand it, its just the photos in the My15M  assembly on the MyEcu thread don't seem to tie up.  Perhaps the photos were taken of a prototype.

I suspect the assembly instructions were left out of my kit in error, the details on the MyEcu site are not sufficient to enable one to build the kit - particularly wirh regard to the Serial Adapter. Still mistakes happen and are usually easily rectified. As the resistor colours in the photos did not line up with the instructions on the website I wondered if there was an alternate colour coding, I learnt mine from the old pre PC mnemonic from the 1960's.

May I get the latest instructions too.

I just received my kit (thanks Admin!) and want to assemble it before the snow melts and riding season arrives.

No problems. Let me address some errors and deficiencies that Bob has identified. I'll get it to you  ASAP. Don't use the instructions on the site they are for an older version of board.

I finally realise why I had such problems identifying the resistors.

I had a quick look at YABB's picture above when it was posted and thought "I know that", except I did'nt look at the example at the bottom with the five band code, all makes sense now.

I have only seen the top four band type before and of course the supplied items were five band.
