Unlike some of the links in my previous article, my callipers output only one value, it is not 2's complement - but has a sign bit, and it changes if you switch between mm and inches on the scales - either hundredths of a mm or inch respectively. I've managed to solder some wires onto another defective set without breaking them, which has made figuring all this out easier. Perhaps just ESD damage to the other one? Since this isn't the set I'm actually going to use, and there's obviously some variation, I'm going to stop messing around with these, and start experimenting with the carbon fibre ones I'm actually going to use. The reason for using carbon fibre instead of stainless steel is just it should be easier to cut them up. I should be able to cut the jaws off with a diamond burr or similar, and people also seem to manage with a hacksaw. It turns out my carbon fibre callipers are slightly different. I tried out the logic analyser with my bitscope. He
