But not the calibration that maps a raw ADC sample to "24.5% body fat, 21 Kg bone ..." etc.

Whatever values you stick in there are about as accurate as the scale is, so.
Sure, you’ve gotta have some known good values to compare to, but those aren’t hard to come by. Pretty sure you can get a decent idea of BF with callipers or somesuch.
Body fat would be possibly the only metric that a withings scale gives you that you can get a somewhat accurate number from without needing a dexa scan.
