Hi, does anyone know a schematic or a replacement pcb source of cheap 150mm
Chinese digital calipers? 0-button and pc-readout-port are not working. It
still measures; display, Inch/mm and On/Off are ok too.
Thanks,
Dirk

The only cheap source is a complete caliper from Lidl or the like. *But*
there are two different pitches of the comb hidden under the sticker of the
caliper's beam. And they simply don't work with other PCBs.

Schematics!? <G>
Did you ever look at one? There's only one of those black blobs of Chinese
$whatever, two capacitors, one X-tal and this it was.
The buttons just shorten the clock- and data-line and one or two extra pins
of the IC. Seriously, there's nothing to repair. You could only clean the
carbon-contact of the buttons.
You might have a look at my site (see sig.) for some details of how they
work.

Too expensive! EUR 9.99 is OK. Tchibo, Lidl, Aldi are the usual suspects for
those offers.
