Micro DRO made from tyre tread depth gauge
Pete.:
It's the dataport - you can run a cable to a serial interface and hook it up to a pc to make a cheap DRO, among other things.

If anyone has a 'scope, I'd be interested in pictures of the waveforms etc. to see if is possible to add it to my PIC based DRO project

The most commonly used protocol is this one.
ksor:
I just tried to replace the moving "ruler" with a small "ruler"-like peace of aluminum - it seems to work too = the digits changes as I move the aluminum !
This implies that I can use all the full range of the digimeter 0-999.99 mm by just replacing the original ruler with a longer one !
I wonder what is the theory behind this small peace of magic - any link ?

That's exactly what I was wondering about. I have been looking at your PIC DRO for some while now. Good work BTW!
