I have been trying to get load cell values to display on a 12C LCD with no buttons using Robotshop Load Cell / Wheatstone Amplifier Shield . I was using this code from the website: strain_gauge_shield_and_lcd_arduino_uno_code I tried to modify the code, and I have tried a few o…

Hello @kyoboof and welcome to the RobotShop forum, Are you able to see the values in the serial monitor using the strain_gauge_shield_and_lcd_arduino_uno_code? Just in case you haven’t seen this tutorial this might help: [image] Arduino 5 Minute Tutorials: Lesson 8 - …

Hello. Thanks for the link. I am able to see the values in the serial monitor I can also send the LCD messages through the serial monitor by changing the code a bit, but it does not actively display anything. I do not have a LCD with the buttons and the same pin out as that one.…

This is the code that allowed me to send messages to the LCD and also allows me to see the values in the serial monitor. I tried to edit it abit to make it work, so it might be totally mangled. /* Wheatstone Bridge Interface - Library */ /* This library was created by Sébastie…

What messages are you able to send to the LCD with this code? #include <WheatstoneBridge.h> #include <Wire.h> #include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h> LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27, 20, 4); // set the LCD address to 0x27 for a 16 chars and 2 line display WheatstoneBridge wsb_strain1(A0, 3…

YES!!! This code works great! Thank you very much! Do you have any idea how to get it to display in LBS as well as zero it out? Thanks!

Also, the force displays in negative values.

The negative values probably mean that you haven’t calibrated it, to do so you need to use the setup in the strain_gauge_shield_and_lcd_arduino_uno_code, however, as you mentioned you don’t have a screen with a button you will have to modify the code to have a different input, yo…

Thank you for all the help. Much appreciated :slight_smile:
