I like the measurements. After years of reading lies about calipers it’s nice to see complete measurements done. Especially at different positions within the jaws. Thanks!

Thank you for these videos! Wish you still made em but they are still influencing my purchases years later. Thanks man! Hope you’re well

Thorough review! Thanks.

I just purchased the 12" version of iGaging Smart OriginCal w/Bluetooth I too use Fusion360, and am excited to use it in my quality control. Im hoping that it will save me a great deal of time entering numbers. Thank you for posting this:)

Just got mine in the mail as we speak. Dude, this is fantastic. Thank you for making this review (that's why I bought it). I would love if it didn't hit "enter" after the input. I get why, but when you're in Fusion 360, trying to create rectangles, it hits enter and then leaves me with just one main measurement. :P Hope you can get another one. Thanks again!

I also use Fusion360, for my startup business. Are there any tutorials for using the bluetooth feature in fusion with this caliper? Thank you

great caliper and the blue tooth is awesome!

Wow, such a flaw hitting the case.

Which flavor of Bluetooth is it running Bluetooth LE or Original or?

Ordered them off of Amz for $50 only a few minutes after watching video. THANK YOU! Bye bye cables.

It works perfectly on all of my devices expect my desktop. It just stops working after a couple minutes. I assume this is an issue with my bluetooth adapter.

Good review. Do you have a link for those Gauge Blocks? thanks

Hello. I just received an IGaging Smart OriginCal 6" caliper (100-700-B06). Problem: it does not transmit numerical values but alpha gibberish... Test on Android spreadsheets (Google Sheets/ Microsoft 365/ Excel) both on my smartphone and on PC Unable to transmit numeric values, what should I do? Details : - when connecting to my smartphone (Samsung A52 Android 13), two devices appear ("Bluetooth Keyboard" and "Digital Tools"), - Digital Tools, in settings: "an application is required to use this device"; - Bluetooth Keyboard, in settings: "text input"/ if off, disconnection... Is the caliper faulty? What to do ?

what is caliper output and input idk which to chose

I need a digital caliper without a thumbwheel and which you can move pretty smooth and without any pressure. I have to measure some synthetic substances and with any pressure the measurement would be wrong. Any suggestions?

Tatsu All calipers can be used without the thumb wheel. The thumb wheel actually allows for very precise movements which is what you want with a soft material. The iGaging Absolute Origin is still my top pick. Once you get one in your hand and start measuring, you will quickly get the hang of measuring things of various harnesses.

Can you jump from cell to cell (left/right/up) in a spreadsheet via caliper?

@GadgetClass

When you press the measure button, it automatically presses enter to feed the next cell. You can set what this does in your spreadsheet app to go down or to the right.

Nice video. Just wondering can this caliper be configured to send continuous reading over bluetooth/USB? I mean without need of pressing any button?

Now I know which factory makes the Moore & Wright calipers. Or at least some of them. The same one that makes these igaging calipers. I already commented on your previous video. The fractional Igaging was identical to the Moore & Wright fractional caliper, well your included battery branding is the same as the one included in the Moore & Wright Digitronic caliper I picked up the other week. Too many coincidences.

Hi friend, have you tested bluetooth dongle, does it work well on that particular caliper?

Hi, I have the iGaging ABSOLUTE ORIGIN caliper and I was thinking on buying the data cable, until I saw the Bluetooth dongle in one of your videos. Now I need to use it on a PC, not a tablet or phone, but it's not clear to me if it works or not on a PC . Can you help me out before buying cause the dongle it's much cheaper than the SPC cable.

You can get a small bluetooth adaptor that plugs into a USB port on a desktop PC. They are dirt cheap.

I bought this caliper weeks ago and I do not see the problem with the body :) but the bluetooth functionality is a bit of a gimmick

I have a problem the the data output, for some reason they send a "space" character as the first digit at least one of my cad programs (FastCad) has a problem with the space character others don't care

Worth buying solar calipers? i am frustrated when my digital calipers draw current even on idle... i need to change batteries very often

@@GadgetClass Thanks, btw i ve noticed that there is difference between 0-6" (basic without depth addon) and version 0-6"w/Fractions (with addon), because obviously their visual appearance differ too (one has gold screen surround, other doesn't)?

I have this exact model and I have it bluetooth linked to my Samsung Galaxy S10 and using excel to try to enter the data. I have a problem when I click the enter button it will enter the measurement and act as if it is hitting enter twice thereby making an entry and then skipping a row. Another problem is that this double entry from the ip54 is not consistently happening. So every once in a while it will make the entry and go to the next row down as I'd like it to.. Any ideas? Thanks

I have the 12"/300mm version of this caliper. I can only pair to mobile devices like a phone or tablet. When pairing with my computer, windows always does ask for a pincode witch you don't need acording to the manual and someone from the helpdesk. So my question: Does someone know how to pair the caliper with windows 10? Thank you
