Yep. Water doesn't hurt most electronics (as long as no power is

Gentlemen,
a little off topic, sorry: A 3 axis system of above type was given to me

displays are working, but mostly show irreproducible numbers, i.e., when
pushing a glass rule slider forward and back again to the same
if the scales were dirty expect the sensors to be covered in stuff
too thus blinding them.
You could scope the power supply too make sure it is a clean 5v and
that all cables are ok
and scope the signals to see which are clean and which are faulty.
if you had the sensors apart have you reset the
Dave,
thanks for answering so promptly. Haven't got out the scope so far, but
that mustl be one of the next things to do. What do you mean by
