Accuracy to 0.1g #13

Closed crishellco closed 6 years ago

crishellco commented 7 years ago

Is it possible to read to 0.1g accuracy? I am using 3 of these load cells: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R1J9DZ6.

Thanks, Chris

Hey Chris, The best resolution I've achieved using a similar 20kg loadcell is 10g, and I had to calibrate everytime and do some complex math to compensate the load cell's variation graphic. Temperature, noise, and other factors contribute to an error way above 0.1g.

The smaller the cell scale, the better the resolution.

However, there are other Amplifier ADCs and WAY more expensive cells which you could try.
