Modify the Wheatstone Bridge Sensor Interface for load cells

Help & Support Robot Parts
1

I purchased the Flowbotics App for the Phidgets Wheatstone Bridge Sensor Interface. The App does not allow a way to calibrate the load cells. I also want the output to be in pounds. Is there a way to modify the app? I do not have any programming experience. Is this something I can do with the full flowbotics software? I need the readout to be in real time as the app currently exists and to show 4 load cells simultaneously as the app currently exists.

Hi Matt,

As we mentioned in our last reply on the Support Center, it is possible to modify the FlowBotics App for Phidgets Wheatstone Bridge Sensor Interface by using the FlowBotics Studio Software.
You can find all the information you need in the FlowBotics Studio User Guide.
FlowBotics Studio uses a graphical programming language which doesn’t require an advanced programming knowledge.

Regards,

Thank you for all of the links and pointing me in the right direction. I’m slowly learning Ruby although everything is still pretty confusing. Is there someone I could pay to modify the Wheatstone bridge app to incorporate calibration and output in pounds like the phidgets control panel?
