It's easier to communicate there and more people can chime-in.<br />That said, do you see this happening to all four inputs or just the X axis? What happens when you enter 2560 as the CPI for the axis. Do you get close to 3.000?<br />Regards<br />YuriyYuriyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11394499166280606198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-36912306026899481492017-05-25T12:20:11.186-07:002017-05-25T12:20:11.186-07:00I have the TouchDRO BlueTooth Adapter Board for iG...I have the TouchDRO BlueTooth Adapter Board for iGaging Scales, and have used the instructions on the site for same to the best I can. I am using the "Chinese knock off" scales. they have worked on their own on my HF mill. I cannot get them calibrated. I've tried multiple times, and the closest I got the "X" axis was 3.199. It doesn't seem to be able to stay zeroed out.. I've tested it multiple times on a 1 2 3 block and it has never said it was 3". I'm really disappointed, and have pretty much given up on it. I use it because I cut the the wires on the original gauges. But I don't trust it to give me any kind of accuracy. I am using a 7" Fire (5th generation tablet, I think it was one that was recommended. I know this is long and I probably didn't add pertinent info. But can I get some help to find a starting place. I'm waiting for comments, questions . . . what ever.

If you get them with Micro-B USB connectors, you don't need breakout board. The "Ready to Go" board is pretty much ready to go, with the connectors preinstalled. If you get Mini-B, breakout boards is the better way to go.<br />Regards<br />Yuriy<br /><br /><br />Yuriyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11394499166280606198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-2423546948236279692017-05-23T15:37:55.828-07:002017-05-23T15:37:55.828-07:00I'd like to get the iGaging scale set that use...I'd like to get the iGaging scale set that uses 3 stainless steel scales, rather than aluminum. Can someone tell me if those are compatible here, and what source in the US would be the best place to get them?

Make sure your linkage is relaxed and not put a twist on.<br /><br />re: Also I can't get the tach, What I thought was the way it should be wired, doesn't seem to work.<br /><br />Do you have a multimeter or at least a indicator LED? I do not know what you have for a sensor but "most" have three wires Vcc (+), Out, and Gnd (-). Out should be a pulse if Vcc is 3 volt then you should see a 3 volt pulse, connect the Out wire to your Tach terminal.<br /><br />I have the iGaging adapter board and it works great.<br /><br />RalphRalph Hulslanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07313665415514109410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-75774236051222310542017-03-21T15:29:23.685-07:002017-03-21T15:29:23.685-07:00I have the TouchDRO BlueTooth Adapter Board for iG...<br /> I have the TouchDRO BlueTooth Adapter Board for iGaging Scales, and have used the instructions on the site for same to the best I can.

Try it and see what happens. Unless you mechanically break something, you can't damage the electronics that way. Just make sure you don't install the heads 180 degrees off or damage the brass gib.<br /><br />Regards<br />YuriyYuriyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11394499166280606198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-85939928116147159022017-01-01T08:50:38.385-08:002017-01-01T08:50:38.385-08:00Hi...I have 3 Igaging dro plus units.
