Without seeing the bottom of the board I am a bit confused. I see the 1uF cap to the right that runs from Gnd to 5v. Then moving left a second 1uF cap that runs from Gnd to ? and then the large black cap that I can't tell how you have it run. If you could clarify this section that would be great. Is this to power your quill dro? I have a G0704 with built in DRO. I plan to use the W to bring that dro reading to the android tablet.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05032910582913781937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-17146374965885606562014-12-17T03:35:15.469-08:002014-12-17T03:35:15.469-08:00Thanks!, that worked a treat.

I am using your Android app as the coolest DRO I have ever used. However, I encountered a strange issue. The reading dumped out by my Arduino sketch (verified with a virtual serial terminal) is correct, but the numbers displayed on Android is off by a scale of 1.0433. Interesting enough, 1.0433 * 25.4 = 26.5. Don't know how did this happen. I currently work around this by pre-scaling the readings before I transmit them Android. Any idea or suggestion on how to resolve this?<br /><br />Haw<br />xplorerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12575586820590847926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-91499636268033934432014-01-03T17:05:52.786-08:002014-01-03T17:05:52.786-08:00May i add something (and i hope is correct) for Ma...May i add something (and i hope is correct) for Mac users<br />I m using Energia to upload the firmware and since Energia won't handle .hex files i do the import from sketch>add file>Verify>upload.<br />Is this procedure correct?<br />Kind regards<br />Kyriakos<br />PS: Thank you for the fast response<br />PS2: is it possible to sneak peak the underside from this (cheat) board?

(if you connect them backwards, you can change the setting in the app to invert the readout) <br /><br />The application disconnects if there is no data for more than 2 seconds, so there might be something wrong with the Launchpad (even if the scale doesn't send any data, the board will send X0;Y0;Z0; to the tablet.

As with yours they are 5V scales so I guess I could use a setup similar to yours. One thing I do not understand though: the scales use 9 pin connectors but they seem to be connecting onto the voltage shifter board with 4 pins.<br />BTW The guys from DRO Pros sent me a PDF with the technical specs of the Electronica scales they sell. Ill try to email them to you. Could yo check if they will work with this system?Helder22http://www.studioscale.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-71711712113720712172013-12-26T17:51:43.150-08:002013-12-26T17:51:43.150-08:00Manuel,
