Hello,
I recently bought digital caliper and decided to try to read it's data
port readings from my Launchpad. It had Clock and Data pin. Had to
setup pin that connects to Clock to trigger interrup on every pulse
and then in interrupt function do bit shifting to assemble 16 bit
signed integer representing caliper reading. Then sent it out to PC
via soft UART serial port. You can find full source code and detailed
explanation in article I worte:

BTW, this way you can use caliper for precise position sensor if 8Hz
updates are enough. Maybe useful to somebody

Ooops! I often do that, but I usually catch myself. Thanks for the
correction.

The idea of using digital calipers as encoded linear platforms for cnc control has been tossed around at the reprap project wiki. They'll probably love to see this!
