RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Poor Man's Digital Read Out

I have built this interface and tested it with both 500 line and 1000 line
encoders. It works great and really does not cost much to build, IIRC less
than $10 including a box to put it in, screw connectors for the encoder
cables and a db-25 connector to connect it to the PC. The software is
easily configured and seems to be accurate.
