Two Channel Load Cell Board

This post : 2ch Wheatstone Bridge Load Cell amplifier

Also, please note that the amplifier on the Load Cell Shield will saturate at about 1.8V (when 3.3V powered) due to the 1000Hz low pass-filter in the output

I have a 500kg (1100 lb) load cell with a sensitivity of 2mv/V, that I want to use to sense a load of about 200# max. I believe that means that with a 200 lb load the 3.3v supply voltage will produce 200/1100 = 1.8V into the amplifier section. If I want to use the full range of the ADC, I would want the amplifier gain to be 5/1.8 = 2.8. Based on the post referenced above, would the 1000Hz filter saturate the amplifier, and if so, what should I do to get the most resolution from the adc?

@billvv Were you able to find the answer to your question?
