I tried that several times after I had posted the video, I eventually had to adjust the "zero" trimmer on the A3 board to correct it. For its short comings it's still a very useful instrument. Thanks for watching!
I hear ya, power sensors can still fetch some high prices but I have been able to get them for $150-$200. The HP8481A sensor in the video cost me about $220.
@@CraigPetersen12f36b I don't have a meter yet for that very same reason, however there are cheap Chinese sensors for about $25.00, would be interested to see how they would compare to your HP counterpart? ~Jack, VEG
For your zero, you should press and hold until it stabilizes to get the true zero. Also, it helps stability if it is not held in your hand.

Yeah, the HP power meters are cheap, but those power sensors are way too expensive.
