[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2918828, member: 1521"] No it doesn't. I'm sort of doing that manually by adjusting the final motor speed so that slowest trickle phase drops a kernel every ~3/4sec (a tad under a second per kernel). I'm playing inside the time it takes the program to decide if a charge is close enough without going over. It is after all, a dumb system. Never going to be perfect, I'm doing this by eye, but it gets me closer to desired than the scale can show. Still, the heavier the individual kernels, the greater the error potential. And you'd run into that with any dispensing, unless you consistently pre-cut kernels to a finer weight range. But doing that would affect it's burn rate. So far the powders I use have been easy. I'm not burning anything slower than I4350. If I got into slower powders, chances are my case capacity is large enough that +/- one kernel wouldn't matter. With the smart system$$$ like that pictured before, I'm thinking they probably offer a powder cal. Just imagining here; in a [U]powder cal mode[/U] you could drop 5 kernels on the tray and the program could divide the measure by 5 to learn the kernel weight, set undercharge, and later adjust trickle tolerance and speed for optimum rate. Wish I could afford something so nice, while it takes a second mortgage on my truck to buy a scope.. [/QUOTE]
