I continue my migration to digital tools ! I just received my Angle &Throw meter from digitech in Netherland, and designed by Daniel Maiorano. This device allows to mesure angle and travel in mm, as you can enter the chord of the surface, very smart ! It comes without user manual or mount. After thinking a bit, I finally just double taped a epoxy plate behind the case, and which stay on it, then I paper tape it. the case is 3D printed, and it features a small OLED screen, very crisp and with excellent contrast.
The use is very intuitive. First you fix it on the surface, then you power on with a 4.8 to 14V battery. Before to start calibration, you need to set the chord, by clicking on the + or -. When ready you click on the "F" button, there is a 3 seconds countdown before to enter calibration and set the Zero position. You can start measuring ! Overall, this is a nice device that allow to replicate settings with precision, I just regret that the chord has to be re-entered everytime you power-on. The first batch is sold out, but you can preorder here for the next one: http://www.digitech.nl/angle-throw-meter-preorder
Here is a short video to show how it works:
