Hi,

I need help with this:

I'm working in a cement plant and we're having trucks balance (big balance).

It's LCD always shows the weight

I want to take that number and use it as an input in arduino

I don't know how to describe the problem to google :slightly_frowning_face:

Thanks in advance

Are you sure that the scale doesn't have serial output? I'd be very surprised if it's only output was to an LCD display.
What are the details of the scale? ie Manufacturer, model number etc.

You will need to contact the manufacturer for a serial connection cable, and information on how to program the scale and receive the appropriate data.

There is not enough information in the links you posted for us to help.
