Excellent work! I have been really thinking about the arduino/bluetooth route, but don't have a spare tablet or phone to use as the display.
I'm a bit envious, as the digital calipers I have mounted on my lathe work well, but can be a bit of a pain to read at times. They don't really appreciate being spattered in cutting fluids, either. But, they're inexpensive enough that I don't have to worry too much about them.
Do you have/use the milling attachment for the lathe? I used to use mine frequently, but it was relegated to very occasional use once I got a horizontal mill. I never bothered mounting a caliper to it, I just use a DI.
Aren't microcontrollers fun? )
