  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

    Schematics and Circuit Board layout with Fusion 360

    Thanks! I'll be using Accurite 5 scales on my mill and Metric 0.01 (I think they are also Accurite) on my lathe. I thought about surface mount. I can solder these by hand. (see attached) but I wanted to work with something bigger the first time as I wasn't sure I could figure out/know how to...

    Schematics and Circuit Board layout with Fusion 360

    I have my esp32 dev boards flashed and working with my Tablet - it connects anyway. I spent the last two days using Fusion 360 electronics project design to reproduce Yuriy's schematic for the ESP32 scale adapter (https://www.touchdro.com/resources/adapters/diy/esp32-diy-dro.html) and figuring...

    TouchDRO Tablet Question

    On further digging, I see there is a 30 pin and a 38 pin version of this chip. I have the 38 pin version. What do you have? Would this make a difference? I'm think for $4 I'd order the 30 pin version and see if that makes a difference.

    TouchDRO Tablet Question

    Thanks for the forum link! I'll head over there. I posted a couple of fairly straight forward questions on the Esspressif forums and while I had close to 200 views, I didn't get a single response. When I solved the problems, I went back and posted my findings in answer to my own question in...

    Yes I am. I'll try the 1.4. And with a different tablet if I can find one. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions!

    TouchDRO Tablet Question

    That is interesting. It could be an issue as there are so many development boards, and they are all slightly different. I'll see if I can find another table to try it with.

    TouchDRO Tablet Question

    So I was able to find a Python script that tested the BT on the board, and I was able to connect my laptop to the chip. Tried the TouchDRO bin file and still nothing. I'll let you know if I hear anything from the other board.

    TouchDRO Tablet Question

    I used your thread on the hobby-machinist site as a guide along the way. I found it very helpful, thank you for sharing the information! As far as the cable, I am able to use the Arduino IDE, and Python from the Terminal window, to program the chip and receive output to the laptop screen that...

    TouchDRO Tablet Question

    So I think I was able to flash the TouchDRO firmware to my ESP32 dev board, but... When I power it from my serial port on my laptop, and fire up the software on my Samsung tablet, the ESP32 doesn't show up in the list of devices. I tried pushing the reset and boot buttons, and closing the...
