5 ipm is a W. A. G. 1 ipm is adequate, even less
Actually rethinking this whole thread, 5 ipm is pretty fast for the size constraints these calipers offer, What I have in mind is to make a small engraving machine for semi precious stones, like turquois, I am presently in process of purchasing a HAAS TM1 from a friend, so my short term CNC needs will be filled by that, the stone cutter is to be for My Mom. I was toying with the Idea of tracking the Z axis of a larger machine though.<p>
Speed isn't going to be the issue. My problem is how do I retreive the data from a 48 Bit data stream with a 16 bit word capable Microcontroller, I am guessing it can be done as at least 3 comercial enterprises use them as the basis of a DRO, my math skills and inadequate experience in programming are such that I am looking for suggestions as to how to accomplish this feat, mind you, not a code author, but some pointers. Would you store it in 3 words ? Would that involve using an array, something like:<p> MyData var word[3]<p>
Thank You All for your time and consideration, it is appreciated.

If you do not believe in MAGIC, Consider how currency has value simply by printing it, and is then traded for real assets.

Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants - but debt is the money of slaves
