I know that you are aware that nickel wire does change resistance based on the temperature of the wire so it would be expected that your resistance value would be different if you are outside in winter or on a hot summer day on the beach. Shouldn't you expect to see that? It shouldn't matter because the device calibrates based on the atty and the mod being the same temperature and once locked together will be at proper calibration. I would have to assume that Yihi made the .065 statement based on a normal room temperature condition. If you happen to be in a meat freezer then .065 might not be the optimal setting.
Have you tried this yourself or do you even have one to try it on? It is really pretty simple and works well. Why the confusion?
Of course you should expect to see that, that's why a temperature reference is VERY IMPORTANT. Yes I do have SX350Js and have done all kinds of testing on them. I have a very thorough understanding of TP and the technology behind it, so the design flaws in the SXJ board are glaring to me.
I think you are correct in your assumption that YiHi meant at a reasonable room temperature. dr g is also correct in that YiHi gave a preferred 0.065 resistance and didn't mention the second data point of temperature that is required for the resistance to make sense in the context of establishing the exact measurement of the listed preferred baseline. So while dr g is technically correct in his statement, he is still a bit disingenuous in not making the logical assumption of a comfortable room temperature. Just a silly argument on his part, that while not incorrect, is not helpful in the least.
What temperature is that? Comfortable room temperature is not only not stated anywhere by YiHi, it's a ridiculously subjective measurement.
This is very helpful in understanding just how well YiHi understood the concept of temperature control when they made their device. Put in context, a lot of the things that confuse people make more sense, when you understand that YiHi did not have a good and thorough understanding of TP.
There is a lot of wisdom and forethought in having a normalized reading on the device and a consistent calibration paradigm. Without normalized readings and consistent calibration, two people cannot talk about the resistance in the same frame of reference.
I agree!
If Yihi has a position on the subject I expect that they would definitely want it to be public and would respond positively if someone asked them if they were willing to be quoted.
Good luck with that ... speaking from firsthand expeirence, YiHi's communication borders on ridiculous.
