Добавлю что не обязательно точно соблюдать размеры площадок на линейке, программа в считывающей головке сама умеет подстраиваться под размер площадок, я даже делал, для эксперимента, линейку у которой площадки в два раза шире (хотел линейку на поперечную подачу токарного станка приделать, что бы показывала размер на диаметр), но показания не изменились и считалась длина так-же как и с обычной ширины площадками. Для работы нужны только "Т"-площадки. Линейку сверху защитил каптоновой лентой. I also came to this idea, but earlier for six months. I will add that it is not necessary to accurately observe the dimensions of the pads on the ruler, the program in the reading head itself is able to adjust to the size of the pads, I even made, for the experiment, the ruler whose pads are twice as wide (I wanted to attach a ruler to the transverse feed of the lathe to show size per diameter), but the readings did not change and the length was considered in the same way as with the usual width of the pads.

I have recently made myself a DRO using digital calipers and I have had some of your extensions made - thanks 🙂 Do you have any advice on how to prevent interference from my mill's motor being switched etc. from causing the calipers to jump in their readings?
Just ordered 30 pcs with pcbway, will make a 2000 mm dro and closed loop control on the lathe/mill combination I made. So I don't care about back-lash anymore.
@@jimi1233 Hi, The 0,01 accurate calipers continue the count until 999,99 mm then to 0, so it's easy to code. One question: in your video, between 09:11 and 09:14 you don't show how you 'glue' them together, I think I need to solder and verify the exact distance between 2 pieces? ALmost done here, will share the video. Combined with a rotary encoder, I have accuracy up to 0,0001 mm (0,1 micron)
Hello, I just tried to order this. I copied the settings from the provided screenshots, but the audit failed. "Lack of top copper layer" I'm not sure what to do and appreciate any help. Thank you!
Nice idea, but thumbs down for missing narration and that annoying music. Did you check the exact spacing of the pads on the ordered PCBs? Looks like you measured just a single pad and put that in your file. That will add up the error with every following pad. The long version could be several millimetres off if full extended.
I tried to extract the files from the pkg extension, but with 7-zip all I get is a number 0 to 5 and 0 to 10 and a thumbnail.png. Is the file extensions missing from the pkg or are they packed and unpacked with another programme other than 7-zip.
Sorry...I also see other dimensions but they are a bit confusing. At 6:12 I see 2.9 for the height of the widest part of the T, but I don't understand the relation between 4.9 and 5.1. Can you tell me? Thank you!
Hello the finish PCB and all dimensions is on www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/Digital_Caliper_HACK_MOD_from_150mm_to_650mm.html you need only to export it as gerber file ..
Nice thing! I would too like to maximize my calipers but I'm not sure about the dimensions of the grid. Can you post the dimensions? because I only seen three of them, 7.8, 2.3 and 0.3mm. 2.3x2 for the widest part of the T? And how about the height of it. Thank you very much!
Got my PCBs from jlcprc this week. 14 eur including shipping to the NL for 5 strips. My calliper restarts from zero after 20cm or so. Anyone else have this issue?
I tried to use a digital caliper in this way, and it did not work. Examining the data output, it was entirely random. Sitting at zero, the output data was different every time. Beware, some of these calipers have fake data ports.
I have recently bought a couple of the cheapest plastic calipers I could find on eBay and the data out on these are working ok but I was surprised to discover it reads in 100th mm despite the calipers only displaying 10ths.

should be possible 2000 mm but most calipers only count up to 650 mm so needs some specific arduino code

you have to see frist what your caliper can measure and how far... some can measure up to 650mm or 25mm or 1000mm and then there's a zero...
