- SparkFun Load Cell Amplifier - HX711SKU: SEN-13879 Brand: SparkfunThe SparkFun Load Cell Amplifier is a small breakout board for the HX711 IC that allows you to easily read load cells to measure weight. By connecting the amplifier to your microcontroller you will be able to read the changes in the resistance of the load cell, and with some calibration you’ll be able to get very accurate weight measurements. This can be handy for creating your own industrial scale, process control or simple presence detection.
- Load Cell - 200kg, Disc (TAS606)SKU: SEN-13332 Brand: SparkfunThis disc load cell (sometimes called a strain gauge) can translate up to a whopping 200kg of pressure (force) into an electrical signal. Each load cell is able to measure the electrical resistance that changes in response to, and proportional of, the strain (e.g. pressure or force) applied to the disc. With this gauge you will be able to tell just how heavy an object is, if an object’s weight changes over time, or if you simply need to sense the presence of an object by measuring strain or load applied to a surface.
- Load Cell - 50kg, Disc (TAS606)SKU: SEN-13331 Brand: SparkfunThis single disc load cell (sometimes called a strain gauge) can translate up to 50kg of pressure (force) into an electrical signal.
