Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE08356:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description The **Makerverse™ Load Cell Kit** is the easiest way to begin measuring force and weight with a Raspberry Pi Pico. Follow the [guide](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/makerverse-load-cell-kit-guide/) to assemble and program an accurate electronic scale. Great examples and experiments provide a clear path to creating a practical benchtop scale that can later form the foundation of other weight-measuring projects. **Follow the [Load Cell Kit Guide](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/makerverse-load-cell-kit-guide/) to:** - Assemble a load cell weighing platform - Solder electronic connections - Wire a load cell to an Analogue-to-Digital Converter (ADC) and Raspberry Pi Pico - Program a Raspberry Pi Pico with MicroPython - Perform a calibration procedure - Measure weights up to 3kg with 0.2% accuracy - Remix example code to change how the kit functions The completed kit can be used as-is or expanded into more complex projects that include weight measurement. The Makerverse driver works with native MicroPython on a Raspberry Pi Pico making it easy to remix and modify. **Other Essentials required to get started** This kit requires a few essential tools and electronics that many makers already have (eg. soldering iron, Raspberry Pi Pico, breadboard, jumper wire). If you don't have these already, take a look at the [Makerverse Essentials Kit](https://core-electronics.com.au/makerverse-essentials-kit.html) and the Makerverse Soldering Kit. **Each Makerverse Load Cell Kit contains** - 1x [Makerverse Load Cell ADC](https://core-electronics.com.au/makerverse-load-cell-amplifier.html) - 1x [Load Cell (3kg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/load-cell-3kg.html) - 1x [Mounting Kit](https://core-electronics.com.au/makerverse-load-cell-mounting-kit.html) with [Fasteners](https://core-electronics.com.au/makerverse-load-cell-screw-kit-m4.html) - 1x [Calibration Weight](https://core-electronics.com.au/makerverse-calibration-weight-50g.html) - 1x length of lead-free solder - 1x Handy storage container **Resources** [Makerverse Load Cell Guide](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/makerverse-load-cell-kit-guide/) [Makerverse Load Cell MicroPython Driver](https://github.com/CoreElectronics/CE-Makerverse-hx710c-MicroPython-Module) **Makerverse Overview** **Makerverse** hardware is designed for makers, by makers. We're making the tools and modules we think are the most useful to electronics enthusiasts and people that just want to get their projects done. As experienced makers ourselves, we're building in the features and design considerations that we find most valuable and have wished for in other modules. All Makerverse devices are [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/wysiwyg/product_images/Core-Electronics-Original.png)](https://core-electronics.com.au/original) products designed by our team in Newcastle Australia.
