Micro DRO made from tyre tread depth gauge
nearnexus:
Looking at the circuit board and mounting holes, it looks like the read head could fit straight on to replace one on the chopped digital calipers that hobbyists use as DROs.
The beam cross section dimension is the same.
There is even a cutout in the read head for the locking screw on a digital caliper, so these are probably used on ABS calipers as well.
The end result is that the existing chopped DROs would read much faster with the 3 volt read head.

Oh!? :bugeye:
Not done anything with mine, yet. But, apart from the stiff slide compared to the normal digital glide, I've not found a problem! :scratch:
Will have a closer look, this morning....... :thumbup:

Marauder, who did you buy from?
I got mine from "ejoytune" off ebay UK. They haven`t arrived yet but I wonder if they are getting wind of the the sudden higher purchase order of these things and are ready to up the price?

Discard the tension spring - it's not required.
Bought mine from dealnts on eBay - no problems so far. You can see my build on my website.
Rob who designed this neat unit also commented on the situation with eBay dealers who must be very curious on the sudden rise in global demand.
