DRO..... PC based

plans, code, parts list.
I never realized how simple these projects are, I've been too involved in the "industrial" environment. This looks like a hour long project.
This arduino research all started with a 24x24x48 3d reprap printer build on this end. (based on the arduino) THE free app for this, the remote control lawnmower I did "another way" and several other things I did differently, and more expensively. Being a UNION electrician for years I never realized I was stuck in the "I can fix it, even if it takes every last dollar you got" mental mode.
Dawai:
HOW COOL IS THIS?? SERIAL OUT USB CABLE directly to they arduino with YURI's sketch in it..
NOW, anything I send out "serial labled from the arduino" as he wrote the android software to recieve is displayed on the NEXUS 7...
Note.. the nexus 7 otg micro-usb cable cost me $2.88.. free shipping.
THE touchDRO is a free app from the google playstore..
NEAT, YURI, Thank you.. I will donate a few bucks money to your project.
dawesy:
liking this, excellent project.
is there a version of this that could run through a PC? i have a spare PC that im going to install in the shop ( for solidworks jobs, car EPC etc)
how much are the scales and where is best to get them?
keep us posted on how it works :)
Dawai:
I can write you a "altered" version of my "cheapass DRO" that runs in windows visual basic. INstead of reading the chinese scales through multiple ports, it could read the arduino and let it do the work.
No big deal, ten to fifteen minutes to alter it.. will take me a lot longer to remember what files you need on your machine to run it.. vbrun.exe??? I can't remember.. (hit on the head too many times??)
I had a version that was "power to" a point using a power feed... Not sure where that one went. Not a true cnc, but a slotter or face off system.. no interpolation between axis (cutting circles or angles)
Dawai:
I got it talking to the Arduino "code unchanged".
I'll make the "power feed" boxes invisible.. and clean some up, then hunt a place to post it to share with anyone that wants it.. Perhaps the Yahoo CheapAssDro forum I started, now can't get back into?? Ha.. getting old sucks.
(got a migraine, off right now to watch some tele and pet the dog)
