Phidget bridge/Load Cell

Hello All.
Im in need of some help.

i have a 500kg S load cell, and a phidget bridge 1046.

i have it all connected, and i am getting voltage readouts.
i have used C# sharp Cell calibrator to gain some information, but havent made any progress from there.

i need help with some software that will allow me to record weight (Kg) over time please. i am a layman when it comes to this type of thing, and ive had the head of our IT department working on it and he cant make progress either.
Please can someone help?

Thanks in advance

Hi, Were the APIs given here of any help?

Hi RP.
thanks for the response.
i have looked at those, and done tonnes of reading.
i just cant get my head around creating a program that allows me to view the weight applied to the S cell. I’m a complete novice at this.

I’m able to complete the calibration of the S cell, please see the snippet below.
but don’t know how to use the values i’m given or what software to place them in.

Could you offer any further advice please?
Thank you.

Unfortunately, I could not find any arduino example of this Phidget bridge. If we had exactly known how to interface this with an Arduino, we can easily see the weights on the serial monitor or an LCD display. It could be also possible to store the data by adding an SD card to the setup. However, it seems that some people have already tried to use it with arduino and have made some progresses. You may get some clues from here: Phidgets and Arduino - Sensors - Arduino Forum
