Anyone used the phidget load sensors ?

Other Hardware Sensors

Hi all,

I want to measure loads using a micro load sensor. I am planning on using [this](0.78 Kg Micro Load Cell - RobotShop Links).

Can anyone who used this or ones like it give me a link to the amplifiers they used in getting a proper reading please ? :slight_smile:

Thanks You :slight_smile:

That seems like a standard normal load cell.
The HX711 is often used for that, it is very cheap on Ebay.
Before the HX711 was used, often the INA125 was used. But that uses the analog input of the Arduino, which is only 10 bits. The load cell is far more accurate than just 10 bits, so the HX711 is better.

Thanks @Peter_n

The HX711 uses two analog pins and also my application does not need to be so accurate so I will use the INA125 that you mentioned.
