Product Review
Package contents:
- 4 x Load cell 0-50KG
- 1 x HX711 24BIT Precision ADC Module on breakout board
- 10 x Breakaway header pins for HX711 connection
Information
- Load cell - Sturdy steel construction with strain gauges pre-attached with strain relieved wires. Accurately measures forces from 0-50kg (0-100 lb).
- HX711 - This top of the line load cell amplifier mounted on a breakout board pairs perfectly with the load cell to provide fast, accurate force measurements. It measures small changes in the resistance of the strain gauges mounted to the load cell and passes these values directly to any microcontroller (like an Arduino or Raspberry Pi).
