Fergus OMore:
I'm getting nowhere. Perhaps I am far too pragmatic or simply have never had time for these ethereal fancy notions. Probably, I have read too many good technical books like Mrs Beeton who said-quite rightly 'First catch your pheasant'. You can read all you like about cooking the miserable thing but catch it-- and then start the 2nd phase. Let me assure readers that eating a cook book compares unfavourably with a cooked bird!

Sorry but for the few extra   coins involved, there must be an easier way of seeing the handles on a lathe or mill turn.  :bang:

Dawai:
Sure is brother, hire a young man to turn them. (snicker) I am right there behind ya.

I just bought another cable for the arduino, this one a otg Nexus male cable to a female B cable so i can plug in the the arduino to the nexus 7.  (and that fancy fuel injection on the 57 GMC)

That tiny tablet has a wad of cpu power crammed in a small package. Touchpad Display & co processor.

Dawai:
BEWARE, not all A-b cables (the flat to the tombstone for the arduino) are the same.

I spent a hour learning that, went back to the blue cable that came with the UNO. BLUE one had a pop up on the Nexus 7.. PING, works.. (it should have said "you dummy")

Fergus OMore:
These tablet things :bang: Mine- a mark one in slate needs something- perhaps a new slate pencil.

Served me reasonably well, shouldn't really grumble about quality or warranties. I mean - who has a tablet that done calculations which have assured me a lifestyle so that I haven't needed to work for almost 30 years now?

I'm simply having problems holding a pencil and  :loco:

Drat, my grip has gone again.

Cheers

In case you missed it.. Yuri's toys.. his android os free app, downloaded from google playstore,
PUT ON MY Nexus 7, $2.88 otg cable to female usb, hooked to a Arduino  (with multiple serial ports) runs right out of the box.

IF you use the work he has done, you can use the "arduino transmit format" in the sketch, suddenly you have a DRO readout you can adapt to anything you want.

This worked right out of the box, less than a minute after I downloaded the sketch into the arduino and the app off google..  Way to go for simple. NOW to hook my "junk" to it..  (you remember that ultrasonic distance SF04 I had hooked up?? ) instant distance.
