Hi,

I want to buy your Phidget VINT Hub Phidget & VINT Wheatstone Bridge Sensor Interface, as following purchase link:
robotshop.com/ca/en/phidget … rface.html
robotshop.com/ca/en/vint-hub-phidget.html

And i need to buy the load cell from Omega web: omega.ca/pptst_eng/LCL.html#description

Here is the question:
It shows the excitation voltage for the load cell is 5-12 V, but I am wondering if your Wheatstone Bridge Sensor Interface can supply stable voltage in that range (i guess max vol you can supply is only 5V right), based on your experience, could you help tell if these 3 product is compatible ? I don’t want to buy wrong product.

BTW, for VINT Hub Phidget, do you have the USB cable together with the product ?

Thanks, it is a little bit urgent, please help answer soon.

Best,
Juntian

Hi Juntian,

The Phidget VINT Wheatstone Bridge Sensor Interface will supply a maximum voltage of 5V.
From the load cell link you sent, it is indicated that the excitation voltage of the load cell is 5V (and 12V maximum), therefore, the load cell should work with the Phidget VINT Wheatstone Bridge Sensor Interface without issues.
The VINT Hub Phidget uses USB mini B cable, you can use this one for example.

Regards,
