Product Code: MIKROE-3168

The Load Cell Click Board? is a weight measurement Click Board? which utilizes a load cell element, in order to precisely measure the weight of an object. The Load Cell Click Board? can be used with the strain gauge type of load cells and can measure up to ?20V or ?40V of differential voltage. The strain gauge load cell is typically a circuit made of four strain gauges, connected in the Wheatstone bridge configuration. Very small voltage changes need to be accurately detected and converted into a digital form. The Load Cell Click Board? uses the HX711, a specialised 24-bit analog to digital converter (ADC), designed for weight scale applications, made by Avia Semiconductor.
