Re: Interface on low-cost linear scales?

There are a few pictures in halle_dro now. There are no close-ups of
the connectors but they are the cheap type with contact areas
directly on the PCB. I bought the scales from Chronos in the UK (i
live in sweden) and they were £40 each I think. I mounted one
today
and it seems to work fine but the display are way to small, but a
readout on a PC-screen would fix that (and give some more
functionality as well).
