Load Cell Sensor Features Load cells are electronic sensors that are able to measure weight and force. The body is usually made of aluminum, alloy steel, or stainless steel which makes it very sturdy but also minimally elastic. This elasticity gives rise to the term "spring element", referring to the body of the load cell. When force is exerted on the load cell, the spring element is slightly deformed, and unless overloaded, always returns to its original shape. Load cell capacity is equal to the maximum am...

Overview In this tutorial, you will learn about the load cell module, its applications and its operation. Also, you’ll see how to use the load cell module with Arduino. Then after learning about calibrating the load cell, you will create a digital scale that can measure the weight with an accuracy of 0.0001 grams and also a force gauge. What You Will Learn What load cell is and how it works How to use the load cell module with Arduino Build a digital scale with Ardu...
