I have this sitting on my dining table (AKA "the crappy table where we do stuff that would damage the good table" :) ) Today, as I heading to work, my wife pointed to it, and recited a famous quote from "The Art of War": "If you know the enemy competition and know yourself, you need not fear...

Hi Folks, I've spent the last two weeks gutting and redoing the "Indicate Workpiece" function. The new build is currently in "Alpha". I will let it bake there for a few days, and if things don't catch fire, will make it public. If you're not familiar with it, this function takes care of finding...

I've mentioned before that I'm working on a "Plus" version of TouchDRO. Eventually it will be a paid upgrade on top of the current TouchDRO version, but for the foreseeable future it will be available as a "bundled upgrade" with a purchase of a TouchDRO adapter (not sure it this will be just the...

Greetings, Family is coming in an hour for the Christmas Eve dinner, but I figured I can slip in a quick project status update. This week I wrapped up a big chunk of work related to the Saved Tool Offset Memory and dealing with tools offset in general. I ended up completely re-doing a lot of...

Over the last few months I've been working on re-designing the DIY DRO Adapter for Glass Scales, and after a few interations it's finally ready for the "prime time". My ini motivation was to replace the HC-05 module. Those are not sold by any regular parts suppliers, so a few times a year I have...

Good part of the day, By [persistent] popular demand, I will start selling a DIY adapter kit in a few weeks (here are the details: DIY TouchDRO Kit). It's basically a DIY version of the adapter for iGaging and/or Shahe capacitive scales. I have the kist ready to ship already but still need to...

Now that my recently-acquired mini-mill is up and running, I've started using it to make the mounting hardware for digital scales. I'll be installing a full set of Shars scales and using Yuriy Krushelnytskiy's "TouchDRO" hardware and Android app. I've already set up my Logan Model 200 lathe...

Good day, I'd like to run a few ideas by you for the next version of TouchDRO. I know there are a few TouchDRO users on this forum, but I'd like to hear you opinion even if you don't use TouchDRO. So... I'm working on the finishing touches for the next version of the app. (here is the post that...

I'm starting this thread hoping to generate a detailed blow-by-blow account of setting up TouchDRO with Ditron Glass Scales. After the scales are up and running I plan on adding a tachometer to the setup, but for now going to keep it simple. I'm not exactly sure of which controller to use, or...

Good day, By popular demand, I finally added support for iGaging Absolute scales to the TouchDRO (using MSP430 "Universal" controller firmware). The firmware is still in "BETA" version and can be downloaded from my blog's "Downloads" section (http://www.yuriystoys.com/p/downloads.html). In...
