j45on:
Got some scales today and I am glad I did not order the 16" as the 12" is 17"s long and will read just over 13"s
Unfortunately I am going to have to send one of the 12" ones back as it looks like a banana  :(

j45on:
I built my DRO-550 today which came in the post last week so now I need to pull my finger out and finish adding the scales  :hammer:
I also need some scale cables is the mini din 4 pin connector the same as an s-video lead plug ?
If they are I can buy a long one from ebay and cut it in half and solder the other end to the scales  :zap:

Sorry cr*ppy camera phone picture again
This picture makes the led's look washed out,I also need to make a mounting arm :dremel:

j45on:
Yes thats the one
I have just bought a s-video lead from ebay to see if it is the same 99p with free postage ,I thought it would be worth a try
looks similar http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320658616652#ht_3623wt_1032
It will probably be cr*p though

andyf:
Condensed quote from the Maplin catalogue:
"Mini-DIN plugs ... available in 4,6 and 8 pin types. The 4-pin is the standard S-VHS connector, the 6-pin is the standard PS/2 keyboard and mouse connector. "

It doesn't say what the 8-pin is used for.

You were wise to buy a made-up lead. It's bad enough soldering to a full-size DIN plug or socket; mini-DINS must be a real pain.
