// Arduino LEONARDO Digital Caliper reader by Barry Smalldon 18th July 2013.
// Intended for use as an X-Y mouse movement device with 2 x Digital Calipers,
this program reads
// the first Digital Caliper. An application of moving the Mouse in the X (hori
zontal) dimension with 1x
// Digital Caliper and use of Mouse Libraries from Arduino LEONDARD was impleme
nted, to prove the concept.
// This version reads Digital Caliper output from external pins, displays on se
rial port.
// Works with the Digital Calipers clock signal connected to interrupt D2 on Ar
duino LEONARDO board (D3 on Arduino UNO board).
// And Data from Calipers connected to Arduino shield pin D5 (CLOCK and DATA bo
th need voltage correction circuit).
// This Code Prints with a delay time 'delayTime' to the serial output.
//
int datapin = 5; // the Arduino D
ata input from Digital Caliper Output.
float oldValue = 0;
float newValue = 0;
int i;
int delayTime = 50; // this is the delay in
milliseconds to print the output to the screen.

es to Arduino digital pin 5.
Serial.begin(9600); // Serial Port BAUD Rate = 9600.
delay(500); // 500 Millisecond delay (this can be var
ied,works down to 1ms).
attachInterrupt(0,getBit,FALLING); // D0 = CLOCK Pin from Digital Caliper go
es to Arduino LEONARDO interrupt digital pin 2.
} // NOTE:- DATA and CLOCK both connected v
ia voltage correction cct (1.5v input to 3.3v output).

// Interrupt method.Found to be more reliable than reading 'datapin' constantly
in loop() method.

to caliper reading.

gn bit(bit 21) + 3 zero bits(bits 22 to 24).
