Hi Folks, Just a quick question regarding scales. I noticed that the slide is just a plain aluminium bar, so how does the read head know where it is to get the readout? I can't seem to find an explanation on how the read heads actually work. :coffee: Martin |

The encoding information is imbedded in the channel which is on the reverse side. I believe Anthony has set a record for the number of pictures of scales without once showing the back side of one!! :clap: This thread shows the encoder side of the scales. http://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,6512.msg69127.html#msg69127 Joe |

Hi Joe, I see now, I thought I was missing something there. :doh: The mill looks identical to my Warco Major so it gives me a good idea how to fit a DRO to mine. Thanks, Martin |

Noitoen. great information, that will narrow down that problem if it occurs. I too purchased a Tablet about 3 months ago with the intent of using it as the display, i saw the build Yuri did, in fact that was the inspiration for me to do the I-Gaging system. Please all information on setting up the code and or app for the Android tablet i would welcome. 75.... HA ha ...... I am glad its been pointed it out and you're right!. It never ceases to amaze me how people see problems differently and over come challenges individually. I read your thread on your build and i noticed yours were facing out..... it works.. i just never thought to mention it. If i need to cut these scales down is there any problem i should be aware of?

Anthony, cutting the scales down does not effect the readings. Even flipping the scale over, end for end, does not seem to cause any problems either. Joe |
