+This decoder interprets the digital output of cheap generic calipers
+(usually made in China), and shows the measured value in millimeters
+or inches.
-Please note that these devices often communicate on low voltage level,
-which might not be possible to capture with 3.3V logic analyzers.
-So additional circuitry might be needed to capture the signal.
+Notice that these devices often communicate on voltage levels below
+3.3V and may require additional circuitry to capture the signal.
-This is NOT for calipers using Digimatic protocol (eg. Mitutoyo and similar brands)
