ipv3 updated but ohms are fluctuating

[yoyoyo]

just updated the ipv3 and now its showing ohms more accurately

when i put in my atty it says .35

when i fire it the ohms go from .35 to .34 or .33

is that normal for others who did the update?

I'm nit sure about the ipv but I do know that as the wire heats up the ohms change not sure if it's up or down though.

Resistance (ohms) go up as the wire heats up. With some wires, like nickel, the resistance change is very predictable and its what makes Evolv's DNA40 heat 'sensing' technology work.

Anyway, if its a firmware change on the device and the ohms seem to rise after use or as your using, then it makes sense. But if the ohm readings drop as the coils are heated, something is wrong somewhere with the build, the device or the firmware.

Just a thought are your post screws tight or is the connecting pin kinda wonky at all?

yeah they are both solid, just wanted feedback from other ipv3 users that did the upgrade, the biggest variation on the meter is like a build from .38 ohms then when i fire it it goes down to .35 and it stays there, fluctuating from .35 to .36, i saw a vid on youtube and i think its normal, like i said if anybody did the upgrade please tell me if thats the case with your builds and the ipv 3

After the update the resistance meter is reading pretty accurately in my IPV3, about +/- 0.01 ohms higher than the DVM I have.

Ohh!! and yes the resistance changes as the wire heats up.

mine does it too after the update
doesn't seem to effect it

alright thanks for the info

you're lucky, mine nearly doubles instead.
