Product Description
SparkFun OpenScale Simple-to-use Open Source Solution for Measuring Weight and Temperature Includes HX711 24-bit ADC for weigh Scales TMP102 FT231 with mini USB, for USB to Serial Connection
- SparkFun OpenScale: Simple-to-use, open source solution for measuring weight and temperature while reading multiple types of load cells
- The OpenScale was designed for projects and applications where the load was static and/or or where constant readings are needed without user intervention
- Features: Operating Voltage: 5V, Operating Ampage: 80-100mA, Power Cycling above 500ms, Selectable 10SPS or 80SPS Output Data Rate, Local & External Temperature Sensors, Fixed & Adjustable Gain
- ATmega328P microcontroller: Used to address all of your communication and data needs transfer your data to a serial terminal or to a data logger such as the OpenLog, an FT231 with mini USB
- For a USB to serial connection: the HX711, a 24-bit ADC for weigh scales; and the TMP102, for recording the ambient temperature of your system-
- The OpenScale communicates at a TTL level of 9,600bps 8-N-1 by default and possesses a baud rate configurable from 1,200bps to 1,000,000bps.
Simply attach a four-wire or five-wire load cell of any capacity, plug the OpenScale into a USB port, open a terminal window at 9,600bps, and you'll immediately see mass readings. The SparkFun OpenScale will enable you to turn a load cell or four load sensors in a Wheatstone bridge configuration into the DIY weigh scale for your application.
The OpenScale was designed for projects and applications where the load was static (like the beehive in front of SparkFun HQ) or where constant readings are needed without user intervention (for example, on a conveyor belt system). A load cell with an equipped OpenScale can remain in place for months without needing user interaction!
On board the SparkFun OpenScale is the ATmega328P microcontroller, for addressing your communications needs and transferring your data to a serial terminal or to a data logger such as the OpenLog, an FT231 with mini USB, for USB to serial connection; the HX711, a 24-bit ADC for weigh scales; and the TMP102, for recording the ambient temperature of your system. The OpenScale communicates at a TTL level of 9,600bps 8-N-1 by default and possesses a baud rate configurable from 1,200bps to 1,000,000bps.
