We have implemented various projects using a weight sensor or load cell. In these projects, the weight sensor is interfaced with a microcontroller. Also in some Weight Sensor Projects, we have implemented weight sensor interfacing with Arduino.
These IOT based load cell projects measure weight along with other sensors and send data to the cloud using the internet of things. In these projects, users can monitor weight using the IOT websites.
In some of the projects listed above, we measure the Weight by interfacing the Load Cell and HX711 Weight Sensor with Arduino. Generally, we use a 10kg load cell however, we can provide a 40kg load cell weight sensor if students require it.
The load cell converts pressure or force into the proportional electrical output. The electrical output increases with an increase in the force applied to the load cell. Since the output of the load cell is very low (generally in millivolts), we have used the HX711 Weighing Sensor Module. Generally, the load cell weight sensor comes with 4 wires output.
