  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click 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!

Colchester Master 2500 DRO installation

The DRO display works great

BUT they could cheat and read over a period of time and then display a value averaged over a long time period so the number is stable

Why is that cheating?

The only issue with that method in my mind is response time to changes. But that can be handled by looking for a consistent change in direction (faster or slower) and a corresponding variable update time.

Refresh my memory, are both systems using the same magnets but different read heads? Can you swap them? Might not be the algorithm.

same magnet array two different sensors.

The sensors have different terminations so I can't swap them out to test.

I guess cheating is the wrong word in this application. The speeds are static so response time is not a huge deal.
