A load cell is a sensor used to measure force or weight. It is commonly used in applications such as weighing scales, industrial automation, and robotics. Load cells are typically made of metal and ...

How It Works: Load Cell: The load cell converts the force (weight) applied to it into a small electrical signal. The magnitude of this signal is proportional to the weight. HX711 Amplifier: The HX711 ...

This Arduino project, described in the November & December 2017 issue of Elektor is both useful and original in many respects. It is notable for the use of a component a bit out of the ordinary: a ...
