Default Digital readout from dial calipers

Someone posted a writeup (late '05???) on hacking into a digital caliper
to get a data output. I thought I bookmarked it but searching was to no
avail. Anyone got a link?

Add a USB pigtail so the readout goes to your CAD program running on your PC
or MAC- that would be handy.
Or add a blue tooth transmitter for wireless operation. Pretty slick!

They had upgraded and added to the site so much that my bookmarked page
didn't look fmailiar.

My answer would have come 16 minutes too late. Yes, I moved around the
info a lot. But I _tried_ to keep links more or less the same and mapped
old links to new pages with .htaccess on the server-side.

I see you found the Yardo site, created by a regular RCM participant
Nick M.

There is also more info about interfacing the Chinese scales in the
archived Files section of the Yahoo group CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO (membership
required).
I haven't looked at the more recent files, but the ones I did see had
full explanations of the scales' imbedded features and output signals.

Here's a link to a previous discussion on the topic

So _this_ is the start of the Shumatech-DRO! A historical document. :-)

BTW: I think that the Shumatech is really good!

I don't even mind promoting a competitor. :-))

Hey Nick, Have you got a US outlet for YADRO yet? If not I might be
interested in doing it. I want to build one or two but don't want to order
from the UK.

Yes, but they aren't ready to serve yet.

As soon as they can ship, I'll add their link to my site.
