Load Cell Weight Sensor Module
This straight bar load cell (sometimes called a strain gauge) can translate up to 20kg of pressure (force) into an electrical signal. Each load cell is able to measure the electrical resistance that changes in response to and proportional to, the strain (e.g. pressure or force) applied to the bar.
Load Cell Weight Sensor Module is an essential component in systems that require precise weight measurement, commonly used in scales, industrial automation, and laboratory equipment.
Function: The load cell is the primary sensor that measures weight or force. It does this by converting the mechanical force into an electrical signal. The most common type is the strain gauge load cell, which deforms under load, causing a change in electrical resistance proportional to the applied force.
Weight Sensor Module: HX711: A common amplifier module used with load cells. It converts the analog signal from the load cell into a digital signal that a microcontroller, like an Arduino or Raspberry Pi, can easily read. The HX711 provides high-resolution and accuracy
