Because I have it running on an Arduino Droid PCB, so I had to change the sketch to skip over D4 (Y axis now D5, D6, etc) as D4 performs some reserved functions on the Droid board. It was so simple to edit the sketch because you have already done all the hard yards and documented the code so well.<br /><br />I'd like to get the RPM function working next, and I was hoping you could explain what variable name the Sketch needs to pass to the TouchDRO app? Or is there a sketch available that already has this incorporated? Also has anyone published a circuit or construction guide for a DIY RPM sensor you might recommend? (Sorry for so many questions.)<br /><br />Thanks for you patience in bringing us novices up to speed through your blogs and web pages.<br />Regards,<br />Greg<br /> Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16941034117570442132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-60490656160858184702014-01-30T13:01:31.437-08:002014-01-30T13:01:31.437-08:00First, glad you got it to work.

In theory the "request for feature" should happen only once, and I am not able to reproduce this behavior on my tablet :(<br />The short answer to the question: not in the version you have. The new version is fully configurable. I'm starting "beta testing" this weekend, so if you want to, please give me your email address and I will invite you to it.

Ive been thinking of adding a DRO to my lathe for a while now and this looks like it will be just the ticket. I have a question though: is it possible to use scales with this design other than the iGaging scales? And if so which would you advise? I dont mind spending a little more on better and more reliable scales. Dont want to break the bank either though lol!Helder22noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-89195123152222065772013-11-27T17:25:43.100-08:002013-11-27T17:25:43.100-08:00just to share with you

The only issues I've noticed are due to running Android on the Netbook. <br />As Jethro has I'm using a 3.3v mini, mounted it all in a box but I'm using 4 pin metal microphone connectors to connect to the interface box. I've got a blue tooth module for both the netbook and the interface box on order, but being Down Under who knows when they'll arrive.<br />Eventually I'll move over to a tablet.<br />Is there a way to zero each axis without affecting the others ? Maybe I'm missing something basic.<br />Anyways this is a fantastic project and you've got my thanks for all your work.

(3.3v mini is good because you dont have to worry about any resistors for the 5v/3.3v level matching). I power it with usb (5v). The arduino mini has a 3.3v output. It all fits nicely into a clear 50ml urine collection container. The bluetooth pairing led flashes through the clear container so it also a good on/off indicator. I screwed the urine container to my bench below my sieg sx2 mill. <br /><br />I am using my galaxy S4 phone as the display with a "keep screen" app to stop it turning off. (I can charge my phone with the same usb charger that use for the reader). I Might get a cheap tablet but I used my phone to test it and so far I have kept it because it works really well.<br /><br /><br />So much better than the LCDs that came with the DRO, these were dark in the shed and i needed a separate lamp. The displays used to turn off automatically which is annoying.<br /><br />A tachometer to read the spindle rotation speed would be nice (seig have an output that could be potentially decoded or one could use a white dot and light detector on the spindle etc) This would be nice to show on the display as a forth readout.<br /><br />I used to think about a better display but it always looked too hard. However, this project went so smoothly I wish I had done it months ago.Jethrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09247313934284362304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-18128336899215107522013-08-26T09:38:12.171-07:002013-08-26T09:38:12.171-07:00Daniel,
