Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : Cool Ruler.

One glaring error IMHO, inch sub divisions should be 1/10th ie. 0.1" spacing!

They used to give them away with big orders at one of the big suppliers- RS I am pretty sure, I had quite a few lying around for a while, still have in the storage shed I suspect (that was from ages ago-2008-2010??)
