I want to make a simple egg weighing system using arduino (150g Max).
I am using this egg scale as load cell and this amplifier(pictures attached below)
After connecting all the wires , my arduino analog port gives 0 as value and sometimes it just fluctuates to random numbers like 2, 4, 14, 69 and else while there is no egg on the scale. Suppose that it will maintain 0 because there is no egg on the scale. (This is only the testing sketch).
The actual project sketch will tell you once I get the testing correct.
Here is the connection ,
L800 connected to the power supply 24v and the egg scale(load cell)
L800 has 8 channels. I used channel 1 only. So the analog input (A01) of the L800 is connected to A0
of the arduino
Here is the code i am using. FYI, this code is just simple because i just want to test the scale what it reads when connect with the analog port.
int enablepin = A0;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200);
}
void loop()
{
float sensorvalue = analogRead(enablepin);
Serial.print("Value: ");
Serial.println(sensorvalue);
delay(200);
}
