Load Cell Reading

Does any one know what a typical load cell reading should be? Mine is -16xx.xx. The xx part is fluctuating I'm assuming the fluctuations are normal.

RE: Load Cell Reading

I'd like to clarify. That was with the Z axis in the full up position. After homing the load cell reading (Info/Sensor Info/Load cell value) was fluctuating (+/- 5) around zero. If I gently pull or push the filament from the spool side I can see the value change (pulling goes positive, pushing goes negative). Perhaps this value does not really mean anything depending on how the program uses it. If for example the program is only looking for a change when it probes the board then calculates a Z axis fluctuation map of the board it would not really matter what the value is because its looking for how much it changed. If on the other hand the program is constantly looking at the load cell value as its printing then the value should be consistent within some tolerance.

Does anyone know exactly how the load cell is used in the program?
