S Type Load Cell Arduino

We will be using a simple arduino library to communicate with the hx711 that provides a calibration and tare reset feature to easily determine the weight of an object.

S type load cell arduino.

In this arduino tutorial of hx711 load cell amplifier interface. Wire everything as listed in the table below. Using a high resolution adc which can be interfaced with the arduino. This instructable describes how to make a small weighing scale using readily available off the shelf parts materials needed 1.

We are interfacing 40kg load cell to the arduino using hx711 load cell amplifier module. Amplifying the load cell s output voltage signal using a pre packaged instrumentation amplifier ic like the ina125 to be processed by the arduino s adc. The bar type we are using has different screws holes on the bottom and the top. The load cell must also be accurately wired to the hx711 to ensure that the appropriate strain gauge leads are used to approximate the weight given by the load cell.

A load cell s range can vary greatly. Hey guys this video will explain you load cell working principle and connections wheatstone bridge type of load cell and application for same. Load cell 200kg s type tas501 sen 14282 59 95. On the opposite side you can see the connection for the load cell.

Next we will explore calibration and test the load cell as a weighing scale. Load cell basics types of load cells. Arduino this design uses a standard arduino uno other arduino versions or clones should work also2. The two common approaches for interfacing a load cell with an arduino are.

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. A load cell is a physical element or transducer if you want to be technical that can translate pressure force into an electrical signal. The hx711 is easily wired to the arduino using any two digital or analog pins.
