Automatic weighting unit - Raspberry Pi Forums


first of all, glad such fine device raspberry pi invented. have worked bit them , love it. unfortunatly complete newb of fine device.

passion make new devices better , thats reason why googled , found fine community.

trying self make or order device can weight 100 boxes @ same time, , post result weight internet database or file able see current weight when ever needed online.

if can make first prototype fine, , customer likes want make many of them.

plan small loadcell unit , them communicate or store data raspberry. today have found loadcells reasonably price , ordered it.

loadcell looks that:

purchesed 1 viewing unit able test small loadcell. accuracy not important.

raspberry pi seems best platform doing that. main goal find in here of if cant ill start learning because love technology.

more information on load cell wish measure useful, i'm guessing outputs reading in analogue format, need kind of adc (analogue digital converter) read load cell.

adc's available in range of accuracy ratings measured in bits,e.g. 8 bit adc capable of measuring 256 discreet intervals between bottom of scale , top of scale, 10 bit adc measure 1024 values , 12 bit adc 4096 values. more accuracy higher price.

connection method between loadscale , adc depend on way loadscale outputs analogue value.
connection between adc , pi depend on adc choose, typically i2c or spi used.
