Arduino this design uses a standard arduino uno other arduino versions or clones should work also2.
Nano load cell.
The bar type we are using has different screws holes on the bottom and the top.
A device that measures the outputting forces and torques from all three cartesian coordinates x y and z.
Arduino nano and visuino.
The load cell amplifier is a small breakout board for the hx711 ic that allows you to easily read load cells to measure weight.
This instructable describes how to make a small weighing scale using readily available off the shelf parts materials needed 1.
Micro load cells are available in many different types and are suitable for multiple applications.
Hx711 is a precision 24 bit analogto digital converter adc designed for weigh scales and industrial control applications to interface directly with a bridge sensor.
Besides those 5 options the module also features 10 pins that are selectable via solder jumpers on the bottom side of the board 2.
Hx711 load cell amplifier.
Variations include a type of miniature tension and miniature compression load cell.
With the help of visuino the task is so easy that you can complete it in just couple of minutes in this instructable i will show you how to connect th.
Within our product family are numerous types of micro load cell that are ideally suited to applications where space is a limiting factor.
Measure weight with hx711 load cell amplifier and adc.
The load cell nanoshield features a set of jumpers on the top side of the board that allows the manual selection of up to 5 different pins for the chip select function 4 7 8 10 and a3 the default pin is 8.
By connecting the amplifier to your microcontroller you will be able to read the changes in the resistance of the load cell and with some calibration you ll be able to get very accurate weight measurements.
In this arduino tutorial of hx711 load cell amplifier interface.
Arduino scale with 5kg load cell and hx711 amplifier.
To it up as a scale you attach the bottom left or right screw holes to a table or stable object and then attach a piece of platic or any other material to serve as the scale to put objects on to the top opposite screw holes.
