Re: Can this DRO be used?


 

Mike

That is something new to me. I just opened the scale and wiped it all clean. Now I have to wait and see how reliable it is.?

Thanks for the idea

Mike, Thanks and OK

I got the set of three iGaging scales with EZ-DRO displays a few years ago and they worked for a while but then one of the scales started misbehaving. It is the Y scale - the 6 inches long one that jumps. The display would suddenly jump by an exact 0.2000" for no apparent reason and then jump again and again. I have tried at least three "cures" including adding an extra capacitor inside each display unit to filter out the noise. The jumping display has reduced but not disappeared. Still happens randomly. The DRO is not my trusted device currently.?

I wonder if that problem would still be around with Yurys Toy TouchDRO. If that happens it would be a waste of my money.?

I just discovered that the 9-pin D connectors are meant to accept glass scales.. I already have the iGaging scales mounted on my mini-mill and I dont want to start all over again with glass scales,,

Yeah, I looked at its rear side view and it has 9 pin D style connectors which appear to be meant for the scales. I don't see any USB connector for connecting standard aluminum scales. It is obviously meant for some dedicated scales..?

That looks like it is just the display. It does not have any DRO units!

Any comments??
