Wish List Features...

For #1 I am rediong the graphical display to be able to switch display planes. For the lathe it will default for X/Z; for the mill it will default for X/Z but will be able to switch to X/Z or Y/Z if needed.

For #2 I've added something similar that will get to the same end result. I don't know what to call it yet, but in essence you will be able to enter formula for any axis that uses inputs or outputs from oter axes. This will let you use W axis output as input into X and Z axis readouts. (X_in * sin(W_out) or something similar).

“Compound calculation“ would be good as it will interact with other axis.
Thanks !
I have posted the video in another forum and will make a few more demonstrating the powerful features hope to send customers your way. I would gladly pay and I am sure others would too, for the upgraded software in the App Store or PayPal. You have put significant time into this. I just received a Shahe board from you just over a week ago and it’s working great. I printed a magnetic mount setup so very simple attachment and detachment.

Thank you. I really appreciate it.
As far as chargin for the app, I have toyed with the idea of a "Plus" version that would be paid, but so far it's not paning out. I can't (don't want to) take away existing feature from the app and move them behind the "pay wall", since that would be pretty crappy for the current users. I.e. I passionately hate when companies do that to me (ahem, Fusion 360...), so I won't do it to others. I would need to come up with enough "premium" features to make paying fot them a good value proposition, but keep the free version full featured enough. In other words this is complicated and I don't have time and energy to deal with it :) My main job pays the bills pretty well, so for now I don't need to worry about squeezing every possible dollar out of TouchDRO.

On the other hand, if I can sell enough pre-made boards/units, that will cover my expenses and give me motivation to keep working on the project. I'm slowly redesigning the boards to make them less expensive do build, so I can get my prices to be more competitive with Chinese DROs. I think that is a more constructive direction for now.

Best regards

That’s why I bought your board I already made an arduino version that works just wanted to support your efforts. Hope your board sales increase. I just ordered a v2 glass scale board from you.
Thanks again!

Awww this yuriy guy, inspiring all kinds of people. not only have you made a technology more widely available you're also teaching people invaluable things most of us have a hard time learning on our own. Thanks
 
I hate to be a stick in the mud, but I’m just not an electronics wiz. I wish the W connection could plug into my Samsung and I didn’t have to deal with the glitches I have with Bluetooth. Something in my garage messes with Bluetooth and I’ve been in the middle of a project and it has just changed the value. Luckily I remembered where I was. I love the interface and the features, just not Bluetooth.
 
C-Bag,
Bluetooth is as close to bulletproof as it comes. The protocol was developed for noisy environments and has layers of error correction.
The change in value was most likely a glitch in scale readout (there is no mechanism where Bluetooth can do that since it's a digital protocol and glitches would result in packet loss, not an incorrect display).
Which adapter/scales do you use?
Regards
Yuriy
 
I was afraid of that. They are igaging EZ View plus. Never had a problem with the igaging setup. Could it just be a simple as the wall wort or cable from the wort to the touchDRO ?
 
When a scale compeltely changes the position (not just jumps pack and forth) it's usually something to do with the power line.
Does the issue happen often, or did it happen once? What version of TouchDRO adapter do you have? DIY or pre-made? What versoin of the firmware?
 
Was the guy who bought what I think was your first 3D printed case along with the pre-made board. I appreciate you getting back to me and the problem being in the power supply side makes sense. I‘ll see what I can come up with.
