Cheap/Easy Digital Read Out for a Mill

admin

I just saw this on Hackaday, an amazing hacker/maker site (hackaday.com), today and thought that there might be someone that could benefit from this. http://www.nerdkits.com/videos/digital_calipers_dro/It's a moderately easy way to add a DRO to your machines. They hack apart a pair of cheap-o digital calipers and attach it to their NerdKit interface. Really ingenious.The world is amazing when you are slightly strange.
