I posted before (Oct) about adding the scales to my 1952 Index 55. My original intention, keeping this low buck was to use the Shumatech DRO kit for a consolidated display. The kits were sold out so I made do with the iGaging individual readouts, and they work just fine.
Scott (Shumatech) decided to make another run of the DRO550's, so I ordered one with green displays. The kit is just the multi-layer pcb with all main ic's already soldered to the board. You have to solder the individual headers and readouts and several other components to the pcb, but all relatively simple. I ordered a case, mtg kit, and cable kit with iGaging compatible connectors from Wildhorse Innovations to complete the project.
I think I have less than $400 in the whole setup, including scales, kit and case and cables.
(Note in the photos I haven't removed the iGaging readouts yet, since they're magnetic mount I just left them)
