Ampdata is too random!

Post by RPerson »

Tweet a watt
Okay I made a mistake. I forgot to configure the zero thing, and later I noticed that the VA data varies too much, but when I ran

Code: Select all

python wattcher.py -d
I get the following data. Ampdata varies from 200-800!

Code: Select all

c:\wattcher>python wattcher.py -d

I have another KAW with a transmitter attached which I remembered to zero-configure and its ampdata values range from 490-495

check your wiring? try swapping radios between the two outlets? its likely a soldering/wiring issue :)
