Hello,

is there any place I can buy a PC interface for the chinese three button scales? The protocol is well known, see e.g.

I want to buy it, I need six channels. Here is one for three channels, it costs 237 and does not look very good.

I have no connection with either, nor have I tried them. Dave

I'd converse with Nick Mueller at yadro. He is German but his Engish is excellent.

Hello,

I had a look at yadro, I think it would fit nicely. Anybody any experience? I need two units, and don't want to spend $ 400 for something that doesn't work well.

Thanks

The search engine is up and working today on the DIY-CNC yahoo group,

did a YADRO search, pretty much no info, one guy has one, seemed to work. You might join there, and do a search, then try to contact him. Message 22020.

Also posted were these links & info, I did not try any to see if they are relevant.

I found several hits on Practical Machinist

Try YADRO (same country as you) or Shumatech (USA), that way you won't have to re-invent the wheel :-)

Have a nice day.

Looks interesting, but it's in German... and in spite of my last name, I can't read German! The American flag icon is a link to caliper2pc.com, but that seems to redirect back to the German page.
