I've done a few searches, and I haven't been able to find a setup of any kind anywhere that makes this possible for sale or described as a project. Does anyone have any ideas on how I might go about this? I was thinking about possibly getting another DRO display and maybe running a couple of optical encoders from the axes to it somehow, but I don't know if this would work or, more to the point, how this could be done.
Anyone have any ideas or experience doing something like this?
