RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Dan Mauch DRO board help

I use a bunch of different encoders from US digital. Any one of the ones
that use the HEDS read head should be fine. If you wait a little while
longer usdigital should have their 500 CPI linear strips which X 4 will
give 2000 per inch or .0005 resolution.

I'm interested in corresponding with anyone out there who has
built and is using Dan Mauch's DRO board. I'm interested in
what encoders you're using (I can't find any linear scales
that will produce a high enough resolution). I'm probably
going to go with a U S. Digital rotary encoder and use a wire
loop to convert linear,

like here:

Q1: What encoder do you use?

Q2: What software are you using?

Q3: What's your experience been like?

Thanks,
