Here is my DIY Shumatech DRO550 and some iGaging (Cheap Chinese) 21bit scales I just assembled and got loaded up. The project uses an ARM processor and opendro software. Pretty trick setup!! Pic showing 3 12" but the mill's X will get a 24" scale. Bought a 36" and 12" scale for the lathe as the price was super awesome.
Next up will be a DRO for the lathe based on the same igaging scales and an Arduino Uno/Bluetooth/and an Android Tablet.
