// 30/6/18 Tachometer code modified 4 output to a serial LCD with rpm and bar graph
/*
 Author: Jeffrey Nelson <nelsonjm@macpod.net>
 Description: Very quickly written code to read tachometer port data of the SX2 mini mill and likely the SC2 mini lathe.
   for more information check http://macpod.net
  This code was written on an 5v 16Mhz Arduino. I'm planning on writing
 
 Tachometer Port Interface:
  2 GND
  2 5V+
  1 LCDCS - Frame indicator,  pulled low during the transmission of a frame.
  1 LCDCL - Clock line, pulled low when data should be read (we read on the falling edges)
  1 LCDDI - Data line.
 
 Data information:
  Reports if the spindel is stopped or running
  Reports speed of the spindel in 10rpm increments
 
 Data format:
  Every .75 seconds a packet is sent over the port.
  Each packet consists of:
        (ONLY If the mill uses the new mill protocol): a 36 bit header
        Following this potential header are 4 frames. Each Frame consists of 17 bytes.
        The first 8 bits represent an address, and the other bits represent data.
 
  Frame 0: Represents 7-segment data used for 1000's place of rpm readout.
    Address: 0xA0
    Data: First bit is always 0
      Next 7 bits indicate which of the 7-segments to light up.
      Last bit is always 0
  Frame 1: Represents 7-segment data used for 100's place of rpm readout.
    Address: 0xA1
    Data: First bit is always 0
      Next 7 bits indicate which of the 7-segments to light up.
      Last bit is always 0
  Frame 2: Represents 7-segment data used for 10's place of rpm readout.
    Address: 0xA2
    Data: First bit is always 0
      Next 7 bits indicate which of the 7-segments to light up.
      Last bit is 1 if the spindel is not rotating, 0 otherwise.
  Frame 3: Represents 7-segment data used for 1's place of rpm readout. This isn't used.
    Address: 0xA3
    Data: This is always 0x20
 
 
 
 
 7-segment display layout:
  d 
 c g
  f 
 b e
  a
 
 abcdefg
 00 = 1111101
 01 = 0000101
 02 = 1101011
 03 = 1001111
 04 = 0010111
 05 = 1011110
 06 = 1111110
 07 = 0001101
 08 = 1111111
 09 = 1011111

Hi CupOfTea,

Thanks for posting your modified code for others to review/modify! Those are some interesting print lines. :)
