Thanks Bear, have a great Christmas.

Public, I sent out an invite a couple of videos back.

@Shadon HKW dang! I can't believe i missed it. thanks Stan. Merry Christmas to ya'll.

I did not use the adaptor that came with the scale, the touch DRO website has some good info on the hookups, that is your best resource.

@@ShadonHKW thanks , so i did it rite but something else is wrong with the scales or app its happening with both scales from vevor but not the other brand. this is the error im getting its a long one. the number of encoder step is to small between the first and second edge of calibration block

@@user-jg3oi6hd2t That sounds like something in the settings, read the scale calibration instructions on the dro website.

@@ShadonHKW what im experiencing isnt in anywhere on the website even in trouble shooting, i was just able to post on their forums now explaining the whole thing and got a reply from yuri im not the only one getting a error like this so it maybe a bug

i solved the issue, turned out to be 2 things, 1 was the program not having enough info on the meaning of the error or no info on website, 2 the pinout i had the was wrong mainly do to the manuafactures epoxing/resin the electronics and you dont have acess to trace wires and somehow i traced wires wrong so 5v,a,or b were wrong. the wire pinout was exactly the same as the yhsino pinout that i put on x axis and was correct, i think what threw me off was the fact i couldnt see the electonics & manual pinout between the two then the messup on the trace. also in my case or others the jumper color does not match any of the manufactured pinout so it can be confusing to. shadon i thank you for your replies, keepup the great videos

Yeah... it can barely sync my number of steps

If they did it right; the tracking of the position should be done in the module (it looks like an ESP32) and it should be continuously streaming out an absolute position, not the relative motion over Bluetooth…

I see comments about Bluetooth being horrible pretty much under every TouchDRO post or video. The story usually goes like "BlueTooth sucks because my shower speaker keeps disconnecting". It's sort of like saying "I will never use a car to run a business because the 1993 Hyundai my nephew drives keeps blowing head gaskets". In practice this is a non-issue. Bluetooth as a protocol is as close to bullet proof as you can get. It has level of parity checking and redundancy. In every office building there are hundreds of BT keyboards, mice, headphones, etc. and they all just work. Properly build BT devices (with correct protocol implementation, antenna design/location and proper firmware work VERY reliably. You get problems when manufacturers try to get the cheapest parts they can find and give them to a bunch of "amateurs" to implement their device. Bluetooth 2.0 doesn't have enough bandwidth to stream audio, but if you look at the cheaper devices, that's what they use. They get oversaturated and either loose packets (so you get weird artifacts), or simply crash. TouchDRO uses name-brand BT certified module (ESP32) that has enough bandwidth and processing power to run about 20 DROs (with displays and keypads). Even if it dropped BT connection (which it doesn't), the position is still stored in the adapter, and when the connection is restored, it will be sent to the app. The app monitors the stream, and if it detects loss of data, it will pop a message. I don't know how many tens of thousands of TouchDRO installations there are (according to Google Play Store, the app has been downloaded over 400K times), but I sell thousands of these per year, and this year (so far) I had 3 units with issues. One had a cracked Micro-USB solder joint (from mechanical stress), one had a blown voltage regulator due to defective part, and one is dead but still en route to me, so I don't have the root cause. Regards Yuriy

The imly time I've had issues with BT is when I reach the limits of its range. Bluetooth to my mouse and keyboard, to my car stereo, has never been an issue.

@@TouchDRO hard pass on bluetooth for me ....been machining for 27 years and 2 wires have never been a problem yet...
