Cheap DRO using a USB interface

[andyvail]

Hello all,

I'm looking to build an interface between some cheap Chinese scales and a PC to use as a DRO. USB would be nice but I would settle for serial connections. I'm a VB programmer so once I get it on the PC I should be able to get the rest going.

If anyone has the interface built and needs VB programming to run it let me know and I'll try to work out a deal.

Any help would be appreciated. My mill is nearly impossible to read using the factory dials and I need a good DRO that I can count on.
