Hi Folks,
If you have a "V2" TouchDRO Adapter for Glass/Magnetic scales (the one that looks like the photo below), I am offering a paid firmware upgrade.

The details are posted here: TouchDRO V3 Firmware Upgrade for V2 DRO Adapters. The description should be self-explanatory, but in short, the upgrade turns the adapter into something like TDA-420 "lite". I.e. it will have the same software capabilities and TouchDRO Plus access, but won't have the following:
  • Data retention on power loss - there is no EEPROM on the board
  • Auxiliary inputs (Tach and Probe inputs can only work as RPM or Probe input; no limit switches or extra two scale inputs)
  • No USB output - the board doesn't have a USB bridge chip. It is possible to add an FTDI or SiLabs breakout board, though
The upgrade will turn the limit switch inputs into reference signal inputs.

Since the board doesn't have a USB bridge, if you decide to install an OTA update in the future, you will need to use a breakout board too (but the firmware is user-upgradeable over UART).


Trade In Option​

If you have ANY version of TouchDRO adapter that you purchased directly from me (either from www.yuristoys.com or www.touchdro.com) and have the original receipt/order confirmation, you can send it back for a credit that is 50% of the original order value, less shipping. I.e. if you got an iGaging adapter for $99, you will get a credit for $50 (I will round up to the next dollar). The adapter does not need to be functional.

Shipping address is here: Contact Info

Please be sure to include a printout of your original order. I will throw away shipments that don't have the printout in the box. (I know this is rude, but a) it's not that hard and b) I don't want this to turn into a black hole where I'm spending hours trying to find your order confirmation...
