Hello everyone,
I want to make an amplifier for 5 full bridge strain gauges I have, the model of the strain gauge is the Omega SGT-2/350-FB11. The strain gauges are going onto the suspension members in a formula SAE car and will ultimately be attached to the data acquisition unit of the car (0-5V) needed.
I did some reading and I understand the strain gauges output mV that need to be amplified with an operational amplifier to the 5V region.
I need a wiring diagram for 1 strain gauge (wheatstone bridge) going to 1 amplifier (not sure which model to use, there are so many...) and I need to know if it would be possible to have 5 wheatstone bridges going into 1 bigger amplifier? Or maybe just 5 bridges into 5 small amps and I could put all of that in a box or something.
I know this is a little vague but if someone could point me in the right direction here that would be awesome.
Thanks a lot
