You’ll get minimal power because only the meter is interacting with the field, I bet. Phones are good at minimizing power use. Throw a blinky in the mix as a load.

Balanced a Hammy Field Detector on top of the probe. It appears that my ‘scan’ readings come out lower with a HFD, but my ‘powerscan’ readings are roughly the same with one.. And I get the highest readings with a ‘scan’ but no HFD. That’s partially why I’m suspecting momentum of the physical components of the meter may be throwing off my readings. What is notable is that normal scan + HFD lines up pretty well with both powerscan readings.

Scan no HFD: ~6v
Powerscan with or without HFD: ~3v
Scan with HFD: ~3v

not final numbers, phone case and sticker involved, more info below

In the event that momentum throwing off the readings, is the blink counteracting that, or is it just landing there out of chance?

For reference, my Pixel8 has taginfo and ZINC, and I’m doing this all with a case and hammy sticker, in line with the hammy sticker (serves as good point of reference).

Bad news (for me): Looks like I placed my hammy sticker in a less than ideal spot
Great news (for all of us): Looks like the FMP is a hell of a lot more accurate with finding ideal hammy sticker locations than a blinky.

I thought about putting in 2 rows.
One would be without a Hammy sticker
and one would be with.

As long as we accept one value or the other, not requiring both, I see no issue with this. I can also throw an experiment in there later today to see how much of a difference this makes.

Also we need to decide and agree on a distance for taking measurements, be that contact or 10mm etc. I am personally leaning towards contact as that is more pure.

At this moment I’d like to get more testing in before I lean one way or the other, particularly caseless. Also, it is worth noting that I’m seeing lower numbers on contact with a hammy sticker than ~5-10mm away.

@Pilgrimsmaster

Should the meter top out, my opinion is, “who cares” it should get a gold star Meaning, it will likely work with any implant.

Thoughts?

At this point I agree, though my opinion is suject to change based on how my shitty door lock (does not work with xSeries, does with offbrand Magic Ring) reads.
