Attempting to weigh grains of rice on My Weigh iBALANCE 201

0.02g grains of rice don't register on 0.01g precision scales. What's going on?

or how about you take away any electronic frequencies away from the scale via your camera

@assyrianking44 It was doing this before I got my camera out.

the resolution may be 0.01 but mechanically it wont pass on such a small changes.

@OK2BCK I believe this may have been caused by an overly aggressive auto-zero function. From the My Weigh FAQ:

"Adding light loads or "dribbling" can cause display problems. Digital scales have an auto-zero function. The way this normally works is that if an item is placed on the tray that weighs less than half of one division, the scale will zero that out and maintain a stable display"

A .02g grain of rice isn't "less than half of one division", but it did appear to be auto-zeroed away.

@jcansdale right, that makes sense. what u need such a small range scale for? may i ask

[jcansdale]

@OK2BCK Firstly I wanted to check the scale was working up to spec. Also, if I "dribble" a small amount onto the scale - I want to be confident that this will be included in the final weight. At the moment this doesn't appear to be the case.
