hey, progg, i think it's doing what it's supposed to but there are numbers beyond the decimals, probably to the thousandths or more that the darwin could be operating with internally. the readout is only to the nearest tenth, so in my earlier example 8.96 became 9.0W, and it lists the resistance and current to the nearest tenth as well. it could have also been a straightforward I = P / E, so 9 Watts/ 3.1Ω = 1.7 Amps, but beyond the readout it could be an atty with a resistance of 3.099999Ω, desired wattage of 9.000001W, current of 1.6669A, and voltage of 5.36205V or any number of variations on the theme...all of which can give a different value, depending on how precise the measurements are. so on a small LCD readout like this, anything beyond a tenth of a decimal point is going to be cluttered...but, if the value is taken as an absolute, it definitely impacts the precision of any calculations based on the readout alone when you then go back and try to calculate for one value using a limited representation of another.
