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? |

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! |

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 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CAD_CA.../message/63433 WB ................

If not I might be interested in doing it.
