Hi All,
I have just found a link to this project for a DIY DRO using an Android tablet on the "Shumatech" forum. I thought some time ago that this would be a good way to make a DRO but I did not have the programming skills required.

Hi Paul,
I think if you wanted an LED version then building a Shumatech DRO350 would be the best option. I have recently bought a Raspbery Pi with the idea of using it for the display and calculation part of a DRO in the same way Yuriy has used the Android tablet. It will be a long term project as I first need to learn to program in "C"
