tried to connect with Magnetic Encoder but no use

DATA == Cha A
Clk == /A

No Sorry

My PIC code works only with the 'chinese' LCD callipers (these output a binary code).

Your scale needs a 'quadrature' counter - you may be able to find some other software to work with the scale (I believe the linux based EMC2 can do this)

tried the circuit with verniers too
but no data

like that's going to get you an answer !

Hi Bill,

first off, you might want to think about adding a donate button to you signature!4 years later and there are people still interested in your work.

You got me to join another forum just to ask you a question. Pretty simple one it should be:

Do I need visual studio to get your program to install? I keep getting:

unable to register the dll ocx regsvr32 failed with exit code 0x4

on both my computers.

looking forward to your response.

Regards

George

Hi George,

The program is written in VB5, so you should not need VS at all.

It was designed for Windows 95. I have not tried it on Vista or Win7, so that may be the problem (can you install on a VM or as XP?).

the install script ireads:
Source: "d:\My Documents\VB5 projects\Logger\Vernier.exe"; DestDir: "{app}"; Flags: ignoreversion
Source: "e:\VB\System Files\MSVBVM50.dll"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: onlyifdoesntexist uninsneveruninstall
Source: "e:\VB\System Files\OleAut32.dll"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: onlyifdoesntexist sharedfile regserver
Source: "e:\VB\System Files\OlePro32.dll"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: sharedfile regserver
Source: "e:\VB\System Files\AsycFilt.dll"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: sharedfile
;Source: "e:\VB\System Files\Ctl3d32.dll"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: sharedfile
Source: "e:\VB\System Files\StdOle2.tlb"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: sharedfile
Source: "e:\VB\System Files\MSCOMM32.OCX"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: sharedfile regserver
Source: "e:\VB\System Files\SCRRUN.DLL"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: sharedfile
Source: "e:\VB\System Files\comcat v471\Comcat.dll"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: sharedfile regserver

so there are only 4 files that require regserver.

4 years later and there are people still interested in your work.

4 years? I started this in 2005! that's the problem!

There are new scales out now that do not work with the PIC code (so be warned) At some point (way in the future), when I get one of the newer 21 bit devices I'll add it to the PIC.

Meanwhile, I get people like aadityadengle waving bs flags at me, because they cant get it working!

Is does work with the right scales:

My guess is that you have igaging type scales (or yet another chinese type that I have not seen)

The Igaging scales are quite different and in some ways better, but they will require a different PIC code:

(BTW A big thankyou to Shumatech for making their research public

Hi Bill,

thanks for the answer. I am trying to install it in windows XP. It is apparently trying to register inpout32.dll into the Regserver. will investigate and write back.

Ah! I think you have the wrong version. The inpout.dll is only required on my POS board. (not sure why it wont install though)

Give me a day or two and I'll compile a different version

Bill

[BillTodd]

OK this is a versio without the inpout.dll so should install OK (fingers crossed because I have not got a virgin machine to try it on)

Sorted! Thanks Bill
