Hey together,
I want to make a weighing scale with the capacity of ca. 1100kg.
For checking the pipeline I hooked up an arduino mega with a "load scale amp" HX711 and 4 weighing sensors with a max. sensibility of 50kg as I show in picture_1_200kg. Somehow I just got two sensors to work with the "two half bridge". With the four half bridge I recieved no signal.
In picture_2_sensor you can see how I installed the sensor. It turned out that its quiet challenging for me to make a good construction for balancing all the sensors.
So I´m thinking about using ready made scales and putting a think stable plate on it. To reach the full capacity I need to use 6 of eg. those:
https://www.amazon.de/Accuweight-AW...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=RPM7BNXXP5RH3HW22CXK
I bought one and opened it up and in comparison to the circuit I had with the hx711, in the ready-made-scale is every pin of the sensor directly connected to the amp. they dont share their connections as in the "two or four half bridge". (picture_3_readymadescale).
How could I weigh with 6 of that scales?
My next step would be to replace the current "load scale amp" with the hx711. If that works I would start to add scales with a hx711 for each.
Is that a way to go?
Thanks in advance!
