Thanks marki, I tried the u beaut method for calibrating, I got full wells at 17 gain, but they suggested to allow a few % more to allow for non linear responses so 20 it was, I think qui suggests 20 as a good place for beginners anyway.

I'm narrowing it down to somewhere between 80 and 100 will see how it goes. I guess with varying gains the offsets will be different.

Oh thanks for the explanation of the lump on the cable.
