I don't know what the pull-up's resistors would do or where they would go ? I was liking what I was readin . but this Arduino stuff is all new to me . if it was a bolt or a motor I could figgure it out

I eventually gave up on this. Got the Arduino to read my HF calipers, even got it to work with TouchDRO for a bit. But, there wasn't much support, and TouchDRO was too unstable on 2 different Android Tablets. A few computer/Arduino crashes and I lost the Arduino code that worked. I spent a lot of time and effort to get to the point I was at, and wasn't interested in starting over...
I still think it's doable, but I have moved on to other interests...

The difficult takes me a while, the impossible takes a little longer.
