Temp gun settings for esc and motor

[bitchintalion88]

What Emmisive settings do you guys set your temp guns at for accuracy ? I’ve got mine at 92…. Is that gonna be close or am I reading this thing wrong?

I always leave it at default. You do not need precision measurements, and with a mix of alloy you will never get 100% accuracy.
Good enough is default and if you get +/- 5 deg that is more than 'good'.

I always do a sanity check, measure something ambient to see what that looks like and then measure your components.

they say 0.77 for anodized aluminum... maybe start there?
