General Touch DRO questions

Yes, all the way through EZ-View, iGaging uses the same protocol. They twek3ad the circuit quite a few times, so new scales are a bit more reliable.
What is the rev. number on the PCB?
 
Thanks Yuri,

The PCB is labled ZD250-1 V06
 
Tio, you might also look at whether that scale is touching ground or not. I have 1 that is sensitive to that. Presently insulated but will be printing palstic mounts soon.
 
@ub27Rocks Thanks, but I did resolved that a while back. Just added heat shrink to the ends of the scale where they mount into the brackets.
 
I have a Touch DRO on my lathe/mill
I can't tell you how much it's improved usage on my machine.

I even added a small case to house the electronics.
My only issue, and I'm pretty sure it's in my components, is that sometimes the horizontal axis resets to some off the wall number when I power on the machine. I've gotten in the habit of looking at the display before I hit the power switch to make sure I know what it is.
Other than that, I'm using 3 axis and a speed reader. The reader is super simple. Just a $2 hall effect sensor and 6 magnets glued to the driven pulley.

AWESOME value!
 
Just a quick followup... a new scale seems to have done the trick. No more jumping values. Thanks again!
