Load Cell Weight Measurement Using Arduino

In this tutorial you will learn about the load cell module its applications and its operation.

Load cell weight measurement using arduino.

So here we are building the same weighing machine by using arduino and load cells having capacity of measuring upto 40kg. Electronic weighing machines use load cells to calculate the load or the actual pressure produced by the load. Also you ll see how to use the load cell module with arduino. In this project we will be interfacing hx711 load cell amplifier with arduino and 16 2 lcd for designing weighing machine using arduino load cell hx711 module.

Build a digital scale with arduino. By saddam mar 02 2017 75. Grams kg or pounds. Use a load cell as force gauge.

What you will learn. Arduino hx711 and load cell in this tutorial you will learn how to use a 5kg load cell with hx711 and arduino uno or mega in this tutorial you will also learn how to calibrate your load cell or strain gauge circuit diagram soldering programming and practical implementation. How to use the load cell module with arduino. In this arduino tutorial of hx711 load cell amplifier interface.

Arduino weight measurement using load cell and hx711 module arduino. Using a load cell or weight sensor you can add this capability to your arduino projects. In this tutorial i will explain how to build a weighing scale with an arduino an hx711 and a load cell. Then after learning about calibrating the load cell you will create a digital scale that can measure the weight with an accuracy of 0 0001 grams and also a force gauge.

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. This limit can be further increased by using the load cell of higher capacity. We have seen weight machines at many shops where machine displays the weight just by placing any item on the weighing platform. Then after learning about calibrating the load cell you will create a digital scale that can measure the weight with an accuracy of 0 0001 grams and also a force gauge.

We have seen weight machines at many shops where machine displays the weight just by placing any item on the weighing platform. We are interfacing 40kg load cell to the arduino using hx711 load cell amplifier module. 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. What load cell is and how it works.
