I have been looking at doing a remote display for one of these digital calipers for quite some time.
I have three "iGaging" digital calipers set up as a DRO on my mini-mill and would like to install two on my lathe.
One of the downfalls of the "iGaging" units is that the display turns off after a few minutes to conserve battery power.
This is a real pain when doing a lot of milling operations. I would like to interface the caliper to my own display using LCD or 7-segment displays.

I have read all the details on the web regarding digital caliper protocol but I am at a loss as to where to start writing PBP code.
The data is sent in packets with LSB first! How can this information be converted to a MSB first data packet?
Has anyone tackled this type of project before?

Cheers
