Having problems with SteamEngine's Wire Wizard (large pic warning)

Sprkslfly · July 15, 2016, 1:18am

Getting very odd results from the same search (after bouncing through a few different iterations) and wouldn’t have noticed had it not been for my taking screenshots (for my future reference).

I found it when I realized I’d already saved the ‘stats’ for a given wire, and then noticed that the impedance was different, with seemingly nothing else changed in the equation -which CAN’T be the case. If it is, then…er…yeah. The whole thing would be worthless if the results generated aren’t static.

I know it’s almost GOT to be a glitch on my end…but for the life of me, can’t figure out what.

SS304 example (that I found it with):
SS-304 24ga (.282ohm ea) orig.save

SS-304 24ga (.326ohm ea)
that shows the error:

Tried it again to see if it was just a one-time glitch, and it did the same thing with SS316L…

SS-316L-Elite (clapton) 26ga, 30ga (.568ohm ea)

SS-316L-Elite (clapton) 26ga, 30ga (.638ohm ea)

Have a few other examples…but these make the point. It’s not exclusive to one wire, or multiple wires. Something just seems goofed somewhere.
(My luck…oi.)

Just curious, have you tried a different browser?

You raise a fair point my friend.

No. But the only other thing I have ATM is IE which is so out of date (as I never use it)…date shows 2013 on it’s “about” tab. Worth a shot though.

Any good alternative browser recommendations for windows while we’re on it? (Since I wont use IE, and have tried to avoid Chrome for other reasons)

Firefox is what I use as a secondary browser to check when I have problems. Could also try just clearing your cache or resetting IE.

Good and clear here,…on a mini desktop HP…
Are you on a android or iOS ?

I second what Benny said Firefox all day for me. I really like the Adblock and other add’ons and all the things you can do with it.

Google chrome browser should be just as good…but I am just more familiar with Firefox since I have used it for many many years doing many different things with it. Between Firefox and my protections on my computer I havnt had an issue for 8 years. I.e. Never did that for me.
