still no results ddaayyuummm how much longer martin?

It'll be a few weeks.

I had to start over on my testing because I couldn't validate/repeat my results of the first round/method any better than about one degree. I learned a few things and decided to throw away all that work, adjust my methods, and give it another try.

It's getting pretty hard to make it much more accurate than the crappy 1C resolution DTS sensors when using them as a measuring insturment.

This new method is going to take a lot longer, so I may release bits and pieces as I get them done instead....we'll see how it goes.

OMG Martin, you're going to go insane.
You must have a great motivational partner, cause if it was me I'd be crying in my soup right now if I had to start over.

In the meantime, while we're all waiting on Martin's results, there is some comparison testing here

Yeah, don't wait for mine. Andy has the right setup with the fixed ambients. I'm fighting the fact that I don't have that ability right now in the summer, I need to buy an a/c unit with a thermostat first. I thought I could correct for ambient fluctuations, but I'm failing miserably. I might just have to wait until I can run the heater or break down and buy an a/c unit to control this.

Somehow I don't think the wife takes too well of the "I need to buy a/c so I can do more testing" routine....hmmm have to strategize that one...

Amen,

The UPS guy just dropped off my new CPU. I told him to slow down and throw the stuff off the truck going forward, not to bring it up on the front porch anymore

The UPS guys around here are harsh enough on the packages as is, I wouldn't want to encourage them. I used to know someone that worked at a UPS distribution center and he used to talk about how they would form lines and just chuck boxes to each other. Not sure if I believe him or not on that one though, as he was known to exaggerate on occasion if it made for a better story.
