    FAQ

    • Why use the setCalibration() function to set the calibration value to 2000, but use the getCalibration() function to check the current calibration value is not 2000.
      The getCalibration() function can only obtain the calibration value of the "key-press calibration" or enableCal() function, but cannot obtain the calibration value set by the setCalibration() function
    • How to judge whether the automatic calibration is successful?
      When the calibration is successful, the indicator above the calibration button will flash three times and go out. Otherwise, the calibration fails.
    • What should the weight of the calibration object be?
      Take the middle value. For example, if the measurement range is about 0-600g, the weight of the calibration object is preferably 300g (other weights are also possible, the middle value is the ideal value).
    • Why use the setCalibration() function to set the calibration value to 2000
      The getCalibration() function can only obtain the calibration value of the "key-press calibration" or enableCal() function, but cannot obtain the calibration value set by the setCalibration() function.
    • After the automatic calibration is successful, the output weight information has a large deviation (>3g), although multiple calibrations have been performed.
      Please check that the four leads of the sensor (weighing beam) are not entangled too much. Too much winding will affect the accuracy of the data. Make sure that the scale surface is not tilted.
