Load Cell Weight Measurement Using Arduino

What you will learn.

Load cell weight measurement using arduino.

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. In this tutorial you will learn about the load cell module its applications and its operation. This limit can be further increased by using the load cell of higher capacity.

Today we are going to measure the weight by interfacing load cell and hx711 weight sensor with arduino. Also you ll see how to use the load cell module with arduino. Electronic weighing machines use load cells to calculate the load or the actual pressure produced by the load. 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. By saddam mar 02 2017 75. 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. Use a load cell as force gauge.

Build a digital scale with arduino. 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. Grams kg or pounds. This is a simple arduino weight measurement project.

So here we are building the same weighing machine by using arduino and load cells having capacity of measuring upto 40kg. 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. 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. Arduino weight measurement using load cell and hx711 module arduino.

What load cell is and how it works. Using a load cell or weight sensor you can add this capability to your arduino projects. In this arduino tutorial of hx711 load cell amplifier interface. In this tutorial we will see how to connect calibrate and display the weight on a small oled display and by using a rotary encoder we will be able to change the units from.
