It's worse than that. IIRC mine only shows 6, 12, or 18 watts at that low a value. Useless for really low power. I ended up using a test board for a switching power supply to measure current and voltage at the power jack. > (The technology for this sort of thing must be reasonably solid.

I did a 16-channel power meter board using the tech they put in house electric meters: http://www.delorie.com/electronics/powermeter/ - 24-bit DACs anyone? Serious stuff in those chips, assuming you want to measure mostly accumulated watt-seconds. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
