  1. I have some digitals that are way off..So i'm trying to calibrate them..They max out a 250g..So i'm putting 50 nickels on there and it says calibrating at 250g but then it says it fails at the end every time..I lost the directions..Any guesses or knowledge will be greatly appreciated...:D
     
  2. you need to calibrate it with a real calibration wieght of 100 grams. or it could be off. i heard that depending on the year a nickel can wiegh 4.7-5.0. not exactly sure. just that the wieght verys slightly enough to have a big effect with calibration
     
  3. Thanks..I thought a nickel was 5..I'll have to do some serious research..:D
     
  4. U are correct..They can be a couple .g off so better not do that..+rep:D
