Hi Brian,

Is this project still on hold?

Last night, I put together an identical setup.

Using a MM Pro, an Eagletree, and a Servo Tester. For a load, I rewired a Ceramic Heater so the heating element was fired from the MM Pro. The heater fan was left wired to regular house current.

Well, the ceramic heater core does not work as a load. It's total resistence is too low it appears. I couldn't get much of an amp load to register at all.

What other choices for a load are there?

How about an electro magnet?

Any ideas on how big it would have to be or the Ga. wire it would require?

Just a thought, as larger versions are rather power hungry.
