U.S. BASED SUPPORT - contact Degraw through Amazon messages for help with setting up the kit
LOAD CELL - Sturdy steel alloy construction. Removable hooks pre-attached. Strain gauges pre-attached with strain relieved wires. Accurately measures forces from 0-40kg (0-88 lb).
HX711 - This top of the line load cell amplifier mounted on a breakout board pairs perfectly with the load cell to provide fast, accurate force measurements. It measures small changes in the resistance of the strain gauges mounted to the load cell and passes these values directly to any micro controller (like an Arduino or Raspberry Pi).
LOAD CELL SPECS - Removable hooks pre-attached, 16 cm (6.25 in) hook-to-hook. Wire leads pre-attached, 12 cm (4.5 in) long. Load cell dims: 2.8 mm thick, 7.6 mm wide, 40 mm long (.11 in x 0.3 in x 1.56 in). 2 mounting holes, 4.2 mm diameter, 6 mm (.25 in) distance from tip.
HX711 SPECS - Operation Voltage: 2.7V-5V | Operation Current: < 1.5mA | Includes breakaway headers for connection, soldering required
