It isn't really clear to me what the default baud rate of the serial port is. <br /><br />I have found a nice 7" tablet for $45 (At RadioShack of all places) that works great with a PL2303 dongle and an OTG connector, which, given the rf environment, is a big bonus.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221660897899601975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-82690650826948265262015-11-11T06:09:12.152-08:002015-11-11T06:09:12.152-08:00Yuriy,

The display on calliper is fine but the reading on DRO isn't correct or ever showing the correct reading. I have tried changing the CPI but doesn't seem to help. Scales are the chinese calliper type.<br /><br />Regards,<br />EdAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07863167002958330937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-89862183377080248972015-01-06T16:51:46.214-08:002015-01-06T16:51:46.214-08:00Wow, this really rocks!

My wife gave the parts to me as a Christmas present. As of this evening, all three axes are showing up on the TouchDRO android app! Next step, mounting the scales on the mill. Thanks so much for creating this useful and fun-to-construct application!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />ArminArminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17725980248230693153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-88722082028383083582014-12-15T19:08:01.280-08:002014-12-15T19:08:01.280-08:00Yuri, thank you for all your expertise.

I am in the process of acquiring all the materials needed for the bluetooth dro project and I want to include a bluetooth tachometer on the mill. I can't seem to find out which parts I will need to accomplish this. Can you help?

That could helpful for two reasons:<br />a/ Save a complex machining process in a decdicated file (configuration management) and be able to reload it later in order to reproduce it in future.<br />b/ for very complex machining processes an external tool (for example Excel) would optimize a lot the set points edition.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />OlivierAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-86737495302742967942014-05-09T09:35:15.695-07:002014-05-09T09:35:15.695-07:00Helder,

I had some issues with the introduction of different values to the axes and had to change the language setting of my tablet due to differences in the decimal separator 10,00mm and 10.00mm. I'm also unable to get it to start up in metric units and the appearance of the Axis Details Dialog is also different. If you touch it briefly, the popup menu is different to the one that appears if you touch it longer. The 1/2 and +/- buttons appear but not the "0" button.<br /><br />This does not have to appear as a post but since I don't have your mail I thought it was the only way to reach you. Thanks again for this great project.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01632319991140128683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-65049414224475916032014-05-06T03:40:43.295-07:002014-05-06T03:40:43.295-07:00Hi Yuriy.

I've designed a double sided PCB to accommodate the microcontroller chip, bluetooth modem, power supply and mini usb sockets and mini din for 4 scales. On my mill I've mounted 2 scales on the Z axis. Each channel have dual sockets so one can choose to make more robust shielded connecting cables or the standard usb style cable. All the components, except the BT module are through hole, including the usb sockets. The BT module I've used is the RN42-I/RM from Microchip without the carrier board was the only trick soldering task but I only soldered the used pads with a little patience. If you want, I can supply you with the artwork for the PCB and the BOM from Farnell as gratitude for this great project.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01632319991140128683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-17262380263874920962014-05-01T09:43:36.312-07:002014-05-01T09:43:36.312-07:00This looks great.

We machine large parts that are hard to get to the indicator when setting up.

For best results you *have* to calibrate the scales once they are on the machine.Yuriyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11394499166280606198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-31667491797744568122014-04-25T07:37:24.140-07:002014-04-25T07:37:24.140-07:00Hello Yuriy.

One note about initial setup is that while you correctly say here that the value of cpi is 2560 in the default settings of the touch dro you put 2650 which doeas not correspond to any of the scales you tested here. I don't know if it is a mistyping or on ourpose you out this value to force calibration of every system. Anyway... thanks again. Cheers. AdrianoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
