So far so good.<br /><br />I have two questions :<br />1 -:<br />on the firmware page, I can see that version 2.4 is the recommended version.<br />At version 2.0 there is a Note : "This firmware outputs scale clock on each clock line as opposed to pin 1.7"<br />What does this mean ( sorry, I am a newbie ), can I still use P1.7 or do I have to use another pin ?<br />Does this also apply to version 2.4 ?<br />2 :<br />On the page you refer to, there seems to be an error in a link.<br />In step 1 ( Build and Test Base Control Circuit ) you describe :<br />Build and test the base control circuit following these build instructions, which contains a link to another page.<br />Sadly the link points to itself ( ie the page you are on at that time ).<br />Can you please let us know whate page you are refering to ( i take it to be the page we are on at this moment ).<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />Prodigal Sonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10429806852569366028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-67272809003238842942021-04-17T15:35:01.468-07:002021-04-17T15:35:01.468-07:00This posts is almost 8 years old, so a lot of peop...This posts is almost 8 years old, so a lot of people tried this.

I want to use an Accuremote because it is so much thinner comparatively. A bulky glass won't work. MSP430 does not support both. Is there a way to do it? (same situation on mill, too bulking for quill Z axis) I hate to give up my Jenix scales because I've got a lot of money tied up in them.

You can zero out individual axes by long pressing the "ABS/INCR" buttons. Otherwise you are messing up your work space origin...<br />Loner answer: some calipers set the origin suing hard-reset (by shorting power to the ground). When one caliper shorts Vcc to Ground, all others get reset as well. I'm sure there is a way to isolate the calipers, but I don't have a solution for that.<br />Thank you<br />YuriyYuriyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11394499166280606198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-89795217257554656422015-10-09T06:09:25.168-07:002015-10-09T06:09:25.168-07:00Hi,
