Description

Kit for building electronic scales, an excellent solution for hobbyists and professionals alike. It consists of a sturdy 20 kg load cell in aluminium alloy and a board based on the HX711 chip, a 24-bit analogue-to-digital converter. The load cell delivers high accuracy, with hysteresis and non-linearity of just 0.02%, for reliable and repeatable results. With an output sensitivity of 2 mV/V and an operating temperature range from -30°C to +70°C, this load cell suits a wide variety of applications.

The heart of the set is the HX711 board, designed to interface seamlessly with the load cell and with microcontrollers such as Arduino or compatible boards. That lets you build a custom electronic scale to match your own requirements, at home or at work.

Please note: Arduino is not included in the set.

Measuring 131x30x22 mm and fitted with cables about 40 cm long, this set is easy to install and set up.
