Then make a anti-backlash nut connected to the Digital caliper, (black head) and make sure the rest is mounted where it can't move. 200 step connected to 1/4-20 all-thread will get you .00025" per step, not counting any slop in the mechanism. One of those back burner projects.........I've got the PIC so when/if I get some time I would like to reproduce the project and then port it to a SX, SX/B if possible. One problem, I need to figure out how to have a five day weekend instead of the 2 day weekend I have now!
