Wow, who knew **** was a dirty word?
It wasn't meant to be funny, I only mentioned it to raise awareness
Wow, who knew **** was a dirty word?
From your context (about the connectors being less than satisfactory), I'd surmise that **** was indicative of drawing a vacuum. If that's the case, I'm really puzzled. Before the forum was switched to the new software, "You ****" was a common phrase. There was even a smiley to that effect! Maybe I'm making a wrong assumption about your word. Then gain, the new software may be a bit more prudish than the old.
Anyway, back to the DRO question ... I've kept the mini-DIN connectors at the display end of the cables, but hard-wired the scale ends. <snip>
Yes, your assumption is correct. The offending word was the opposite of blow (which would have conveyed the same message).
Good, you kept the mni-din plugs. I wouldn't think it prudent to hard-wire both ends. At least not for me. I am loathe to close things that can't be unclosed.
I suspect, after further experimentation that the issue with mine could be the batteries and maybe the combined effect of a poor connection on the x-axis scale. My spare batteries are a bit long in the tooth. A fresh set is on the truck and should arrive today.
I haven't seen the new (remote) glass scales. Do they not have a sensor that slides on them? The scales I have are stainless and have a sliding doohicky that looks like the unit on digital calipers.
My research uncovered an interesting issue. I checked my digital x scale against the vernier on the longitudinal crank. .010 on the crank vernier registered .009 on my digital. The discrepancy was not linear, varying randomly at each 10-thousandth up to .050, which registered .047 on the digital. I can't think of a plan to figure which one is off.
