All cad software would be able to output the cad data to ODB++ format files. I wrote scripts to extract ODB++ files to neutral file then […]

The only draw back for this type is the reliability and the costs of sensors themselves, also the fixture must be totally seal dark for the light sensors to work properly. I’ve never used any […]
