Help with steam-engine

[6steelstrings]

I am thinking about giving TC a shot. I went to the steam-engine site and put in the numbers for the type of SS wire that I have and the steam-engine results don't match up with what I know the resistance of my coils are. I checked the ohms on three different devices and the results are within .02 of each other.

I would like to use the CSV file generated by steam-engine in my DNA75 mod, but I don't know if it is accurate enough.

What wire, gauge, diameter, and wraps? Steam Engine will get very close, but sometimes when rounding up or down to integer wraps (rather than "6.75" wraps you're told for an exact resistance), the resistance may not be right on the money. Your legs might also be slightly longer or shorter than the default in SE. It never makes enough of a difference for me to worry about.

You did enter the correct wire type and coil diameter, right?
