The M5Stack Mini Scale Unit revolutionises precision weighing in scientific and industrial applications by combining a high-precision 5kg capacity sensor with advanced digital processing capabilities. This compact unit integrates an HX711 ADC chip and STM32F030F4P6 microcontroller to deliver accurate, stable measurements with I2C communication support, making it ideal for prototyping and educational projects requiring precise weight measurement.
Key Features
- High-precision 5kg capacity weighing sensor with integrated HX711 ADC
- STM32F030F4P6 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 processor for reliable data processing
- I2C communication protocol (Address: 0x26) supporting multiple devices in parallel
- Programmable SK6812 RGB indicator for visual feedback
- Dedicated function button for zero calibration and tare adjustment
- Reserved M3 nut fixing hole for versatile mounting options
- Compact dimensions: 40x24x18mm
How to Use
Installation is straightforward with the included mounting hardware. The unit connects via the HY2.0-4P interface and supports multiple programming platforms including Arduino, UIFlow, and Python. For enhanced accuracy, consider pairing with the M5Stack Calibration Weight - 50.00g for precise calibration.
Basic setup involves:
- Mount the weighing plate using the provided M3 nuts
- Connect to your M5Stack device using the included HY2.0-4P cable
- Configure the I2C communication in your preferred programming environment
- Perform initial calibration using the function button
What's in the Box
