The ones you have happen to have resolution of 10 microns per tick, but that is not guaranteed for other scales.Yuriyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11394499166280606198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-14552630849659607822020-07-08T00:01:15.633-07:002020-07-08T00:01:15.633-07:00One thing I was wondering is, what are the units t...One thing I was wondering is, what are the units the board is outputting?<br />The raw BT/serial data from the board is apparently relative, and depending on where my gauge is when powered up, I get various full-scale values. At least they add up correctly! ;-)<br />--<br />Oh, it's metric, right? I was getting axis values of about 16280 out, and I just realized that even though the length of the scale is 9-1/4" overall (about 237mm) the travel, due to the width of the blind read head, is almost exactly 16.3cm, or 163mm... so it's reading roughly in units of 1/100th mm, or 10 microns? <br />Can you confirm that's correct?<br />Thanks!DWShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05153572222121575326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-70577654609593669642020-07-07T23:49:06.310-07:002020-07-07T23:49:06.310-07:00I've been trying to get this to work on a Rasp...I've been trying to get this to work on a Raspberry Pi 3 and 4, and finally, after *months*, was finally able to get it to work on the 4 tonight. It's really convoluted (at least to me, as a Windows/DOS/embedded guy) but it's working. <br />There's some weird behavior that happens when you connect but don't read the data right away, and I'm still learning to automate the establishment of rfcomm0, but that'll come.<br />I can even read the data stream in C# under mono.<br />Once I reproduce my work from start to finish, I'll clean it up and document it and post it. <br />Thanks again for all your help!DWShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05153572222121575326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-83135973457364209932020-06-08T21:32:43.452-07:002020-06-08T21:32:43.452-07:00The app works only on Android, but the adapter doe...The app works only on Android, but the adapter doesn't really care to what it's sending the information. There is a number of Chromebooks that can run Android subsystem and run the app pretty well. At some point a few people installed Android on Raspberry Pis and that worked pretty OK too (with mouse and a keyboard)Yuriyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11394499166280606198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429789698339059066.post-17723952798680591832020-06-08T20:28:38.555-07:002020-06-08T20:28:38.555-07:00So you can get it to work on a non-Android platfor...So you can get it to work on a non-Android platform?
