Converter adc designed for weigh scales and industrial control applications to interface directly with a bridge sensor.
Diagram weight sensor arduino.
We will be using the hx711 adc converter board to amplify.
In this example a 10 kg.
Arduino as load cell amplifier by christian liljedahl christian liljedahl dk load cells are linear.
Today we are going to measure the weight by interfacing load cell and hx711 weight sensor with arduino.
Arduino this design uses a standard arduino uno other arduino versions or clones should work also hx711 on breakout boa.
In this tutorial we will see how to connect calibrate and display the weight on a small oled display and by using a rotary encoder we will be able to change the units from.
Upload this sketch to your arduino board you need two loads of well know weight.
Using a load cell or weight sensor you can add this capability to your arduino projects.
Grams kg or pounds.
Learn how to build a weight measuring system with an arduino hx711 and a load cell.
So once you have established two data pairs you can interpolate the rest.
The electronic weighing machine uses a load cell to measure the weight produced by the load here most load cells are following the method of a strain gauge.
So here we are building the same weighing machine by using arduino and load cells having capacity of measuring.
Fritzing diagram of the load cell to the hx711 module.
Here is the fritzing diagram.
This is a simple arduino weight measurement project.
Arduino bathroom scale with 50 kg load cells and hx711 amplifier.
