Nano Load Cell

The load cell nanoshield features a set of jumpers on the top side of the board that allows the manual selection of up to 5 different pins for the chip select function 4 7 8 10 and a3 the default pin is 8.

Nano load cell. In this arduino tutorial of hx711 load cell amplifier interface. 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. Besides those 5 options the module also features 10 pins that are selectable via solder jumpers on the bottom side of the board 2. To it up as a scale you attach the bottom left or right screw holes to a table or stable object and then attach a piece of platic or any other material to serve as the scale to put objects on to the top opposite screw holes.

A six axis force torque transducer is also known as a multi axis force torque transducer multi axis load cell f t sensor or six axis load cell. Arduino nano and visuino. The load cell amplifier is a small breakout board for the hx711 ic that allows you to easily read load cells to measure weight. Hx711 load cell amplifier.

With the help of visuino the task is so easy that you can complete it in just couple of minutes in this instructable i will show you how to connect th. This instructable describes how to make a small weighing scale using readily available off the shelf parts materials needed 1. The bar type we are using has different screws holes on the bottom and the top. Within our product family are numerous types of micro load cell that are ideally suited to applications where space is a limiting factor.

By connecting the amplifier to your microcontroller you will be able to read the changes in the resistance of the load cell and with some calibration you ll be able to get very accurate weight measurements. Micro load cells are available in many different types and are suitable for multiple applications. We are interfacing 40kg load cell to the arduino using hx711 load cell amplifier module. Variations include a type of miniature tension and miniature compression load cell.

Arduino this design uses a standard arduino uno other arduino versions or clones should work also2. A device that measures the outputting forces and torques from all three cartesian coordinates x y and z.
