Hi there. I wasn't really sure where to post this so forgive me please if its not where it should be. I was weighing out some ingredients in my kitchen earlier with 2 sets of scales. one which weights in grams and one which weighs to the point of a gram. i was trying to weigh out on the more accurate one and then the reading became very unstable and was jumping about all over the place. just as i started cursing myself for buying cheap i noticed the other set was doing a similar thing so i inferred that they must be getting interference from outside. i moved both scales to a different area and they stopped and then moved them back and they started again. i tried moving my mobile phone away and switching off all electronics and they still did it. eventually they stopped but i cant for the life of me work out what caused this. they were on a very stable flat surface, there were no discernible vibrations. as i said i switched off the only electronics in the immediate vicinity which was a desk lamp and this made no difference. i thought id post here just to see if anyone has any ideas at all. if not then i guess i'll have to put it down to ghosts but i dont really fancy doing that. cheers.
