Hi,
I am looking for a load cell that can accurately measure between a range of 0-20 newtons, and can be easily compatable with arduino.
Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks,
Eoghan
I bought a YZC-133-SCL load cell which is capable of measuring weight up to 5kg, I use it with a hx711 amplifier, which can be connected to arduino through I2C, and the arduino IDE also have two libraries for communicating with the hx711, for me only the simpler one worked.
I made a simple test program for counting the number of light objects(dip8 socket) in a tray, I tested up to 30 pcs and it was reliable, so the weight resolution is half the dip8 socket’s weight, which I don’t know how much, but probably around a few grams.
I haven’t tested for higher loads, so i don’t know how good is the linearity, or how much is the hysteresis.
If you are interested, I can conduct a more comprehensive test on this load cell.
