Phidgets are good. *Excitation maximum = 15V. How to get out of such a mess? 1) INA125P works with a trimmerable cascade amplifier. I was hoping to get the PCB gerber designs for printing? Please put your email here. Thank you for your very good tuturial. Once you wired everything as shown before, you can connect your DAQ board to the PC. - on top you have to use a data acquisition block (analog data, voltage) and you have to set up continuos acquisition. To measure the force, we need to measure the resistance. You are at the right page :) This is 5kg load cell that comes with HX711 amplifier board. Are you have idea, what ADC i must use if i want to make laboratory scale? My e-mail address: jefferson.duarte@academico.ifrn.edu.br, am final year student of electrical engineering,My project is to design CNG and petrol indecator for fuel monetering i am use loadcell for petrol (resistive strain gauge ) and also load cell use for CNG ) with the help of Arduino and LCD display value in the form of digital ,Sir simulate this project by Proteus softweare or other softweare... i am wating. We place the strain gauge in the Wheatstone bridge if the bridge is balanced, the voltage in the middle point should be zero (previously we have built a project where we have described how a Wheatstone bridge works, you can check that out if you want to know more about the topic). (Don't forget that two wires connects only when you see the blue dot connecting them!). the problem you are facing seems a typical case of wrong amplification setting. As you can see, the load cell has some screw threads, so we could mount it on a base plate. This is 99% accurate to original measurements. If you want something really precise, my expereince is that amplifiers from Analog Devices are fantastic and superior in precision. Well, you can use in your case the wiring configuration shown at page 12, figure 5 of INA 125 P datasheet. The HX711 library is for taking the load cell values. Thank you for your appreciation. Since the circuit I'm going to show you has been used to develop haptic robotics application, I'm happy to bring you the only correct way to use the INA 125 P. This tutorial comes together with the video linked here. I would be interested in making at least 8 of them for the time being. I will use 12V V++ voltage to overcome dropout voltage. It's not an advertisement, nobody pays me for this,  but I had really bad experience with common shops: INA 125 P (together with other components) suffers badly from electrostatic discharge and humidity, by purchasing at those big suppliers you would be fairly sure that your components had been stored in the correct way and shipped in fail safe packaging. Let's come to your case. If the difference between set weight and measuring weight is lower than 50 and greater than 1 gram, the buzzer beeps with a 50-millisecond delay (faster). Digital load scales are another miracle of modern-day engineering and design. However, since noise exists, it is normal that the signal floats. I used gym weights and a 0.1 gram precision scale in order to determine the actual mass of each one), Green wire for strain gage positive terminal, White wire for strain gage negative terminal. 2) Using LabView and DAQ Assistant -----> tutorial: http://www.ni.com/tutorial/4656/en/ -every measure should be FILTERED. On the Vin+, i have connected the green wire from the load cell (on 5V power supply, the Vin+ is 1.22V) Coming to your requests: you should give me more details: Smart Coffee Table with Nano and HX711. This is normal, so, what you have to do is to: 1)filter the signal in order to remove noise. I plan to weigh the food in ounces. Well there are many reson why pseodoground wiring is useful. November updates: article (finally!) A question is a question and it's never stupid. using Load Cell HX711 example code, circuit, pinout library Sparkfun sells a pricey breakout board with the chip, but I cannot source the IC anywhere online for some reason ‍♂️.Are there any ADCs out there that have a built-in instrumentation op-amp? I will endeavour to keep you posted on my challenge. Is there a way to move the zero level down? As you said, there are op-amps having lower voltage offset and higher linearity compared to INA 125P, which is designed to be a low cost signal conditioner. Here is a few tips: Then upload the code to Arduino and open the serial monitor. The Ia_ref pin normally should be the conditioner reference to the ground and, as you noticed, normally it should be grounded. Then we used a plastic board for the top of the scale. You are at the right page :) This is 1kg load cell that comes with HX711 amplifier board. Once you have chosen the loading path, all you have to do is to load the load cell, then register the circuit output. thank you so much for for one of the most advanced tutorials on load cells. They are always super nice! For instance all the INA family is appliable to strain gages. The problem arises when you will calibrate the load cell because at low loads the relationship between load applied and circuit output is not linear. For common economic load cell the gain potentiometer should be set to a value between 50 and 120 Ohm (to check this, use a multimeter and read the resistance between pin 8 and 9 of the INA 125P). Do you have a link to the whole article? Sadly I don't know if they ship worldwide, but you can ask. Supplying a measurement system with a battery is, in general, the best practice to reduce noise, hence you are on the right way. By connecting the amplifier to your microcontroller you will be able to read the changes in the resistance of the load cell, and with some calibration you’ll be able to get very accurate weight measurements. Chinese products may be good or not. Hi, do i need this amplifier if i'm using MyRIO? can you suggest an alternative? Now i have arduino uno/mega/due and japan load cell with rated output 2mV/V. Anmar hamid, Check the email for gerbers. Now come the problems with the Arduino: measuring 0.1 grams out of 100 grams, means you want to have at least 1000 levels between the minimum output and the maximum one. In fact two amplifiers of OPA series of Texas Instruments and a high precision voltage regulator are embedded inside the IC. Thank you! It means that you can measure also dynamic forces. 2) the other one is noise: in all IC the signal-to-noise ratio you get as output is dependent with the gain level (ok, if world would have been simple and linear it shouldn't, but it is how it goes with amplification with low cost ICs). In the coding section, first, we added all three libraries. Firstly, let me say that the value of excitation voltage printed on the datasheet is intended as a maximum rating. High precision measurements are a matter of several things, basically what you need is: 4) what is the weight level of your calibration? please send the gerber files to my mail. Or do you recommend using +/- 6V using my 12V supply? In your case, if you are able to reach accuracy only with a 24bit ADC, it seems that you have some problems with the load cell. By connecting the amplifier to your microcontroller you will be able to read the changes in the resistance of the load cell, and with some calibration you’ll be able to get very accurate weight measurements. Like commercial products, our weight scale will have a zero button that zeroes out the scale. Now it's obvious that if the area of this wire gets smaller, fewer electrons could pass meaning a lower current. I am very interested in measuring force output in sport and rehabilitation applications. I sent them to you in zip format, ready to be sent to PCB manufacturers. Once we were all finished, it looked like the image below. This marks the end of the programming part. At zero load the circuit will output 2.5 V. If the load is positive, voltage output will increase. The conductive pattern of the strain gauge is made out of copper, this wire will have a certain area and length, so these two units will give the resistance of the wire. Pros: If you wire the thing in a good manner you get really accurate noiseless signal conditioning N.B. watch your video calibration however after I get 1 / bit * Reglin not to do with that value. first let thank you for having appreciated this tutorial. In any case you can simulate this circuit with every kind of software (generally I use TINA from Texas Instruments, which is freeware and has a INA125P model ready to use). I know you don't want to advertise but I was wondering if you could provide the names of a couple of companies you have dealt with in the past that provided you with good PCB boards. Do i need to use different potentiometer or capacitor? thanks in advance . My DAQ has a range of -10V to 10V for analog input. You can use this scale with any of our load cells to weigh all kinds of things. I have a HX711 board on the way, for anyone who is interested in details on the HX711 the website I used was https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13230. So, one side of the strain gauge is mounted and fixed in a place, if we place a weight on the other side of the aluminum bar, this will force the strain gauge to bend, which will cause a change in resistance. Actually what will be hard is to calibrate correctly the load cell with such heavy loads. To perform this task, one solution is to use mathematics and statistics to provide a linear regression of the data shown in the previous table. I have reread this post and 2 years later makes more sense.Thanks. Description The HX711 load cell amplifier was designed for use in household scales. Remember, we didn't fix one side, because we need to place the pushbuttons, LEDs, and the LCD on it. Are you really annoyed by the fact that force signal transduction costs more than the full robot control? Last thing, check your analog input from your micro: maybe it doesn't have enough resolution for the gain level you set up, so you have to bring the gain up a little bit more. Hello Alberto, The load cell amplifier is based on the IC HX711 which is 24-bit analog to digital converter specifically designed for weight measures. This effect has the same magnitude of changes in resistance caused by strain and so this will cause a "ghost strain" that will hide your force reading. It is not easy to put your powder on scale on a "bowel" that should weigh less than 10 grams. Could you explain me how you got the formula For easy programming, we are going to use the HX711 library, EEPROM Library, and the LiquidCrystal library. !function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if( !d.getElementById(id) ){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs"); © 2021 The MechTech Place — Powered by WordPress. HX711 is a 24-bit Differential ADC, in this way, we could measure very small voltage changes. Now you have to beat the tip of the load cell with a somehow fixed pace. You can attach the circuit output on Arduino or other micro controllers or you can use it for experimental mechanics. Furthermore strain gages have a low resistance (from 60 to 350 Ohm depending on the models) and feeding load cells with high excitation will heat strain gages up. Now, we need to place the known weight on the balance, in my case, that is 194gm. Thanks. That is definetely an error. You also recommend to have 3n levels available which leaves only about 300 usable levels. sir, Then defined integers for different pins and assigned values. So, I'd be very grateful if you could let me see your gerber files, I'm sure they'll be very instructive and save me some grief. Averaging! For this purpose, we useHX711 amplifier sensor. Other options are Kalman filtering, exponential averaging... it's up to one's knowledge. In particular as you bring gain up to a certain level you will fall into the problem of saturation, so you get the output randomly travelling from 0 to 5V Alberto, Thanks for the quick answer! "hope u reply as soon as possible ..because i really need as soon as possible". 3) you set a low level of gain with Rg, Hi Alberto, thanks for a great tutorial. Hi Alberto, this is very nice tutorial, very helpful, I have a problem when I use 6 amplifiers INA 125, using breadboard, the output of 6 wheatsone-bridges is not stable in arduino uno. Typical value of resistence to be provided by the pot should lie between 25 and 500 Ohm, so the best is using a fine tuning pot which may be 10k-20 revs pot, or, better, 1K-10 rev potentiometer. First, we displayed the welcome text using the LCD.print() function, after two seconds, we cleared the display using lcd.clear(). Or should I proceed in another way? Have you ever asked yourself why data acquisition board having the same resolution may have completely different prices? Furthermore, we have the Bill of Materials (BOM) listed below. It is a two-channel, differential voltage amplifier with channel A having gains of 128 or 64 and channel B having a fixed gain of 32. In the end, you will retrieve a table similar to the following one (coming from a calibration of a 5kg Phidgets load cell): Now, we got to estimate the correct linear law that converts kilograms into voltage, in the form of: where V_0 is the output at zero load, G_S is the circuit sensitivity and W_L the load applied. I never tested the Linx binding for Arduino, hence I'm not able to say if there is any particular limitation. What you have to do, if you want the circuit to behave like you said, is to provide a +5V and a -5V power supply and wire the circuit in the regular way, as shown in figure 1, page 10. A strain gauge is a component that is used to measure strain. If I use the "+1" output (2.5V) as my load cell excitation, will the voltage be too low to acquire an accurate measurement? THis looks great! Can you please email the Gerber files to me? i have a ZC-A 300kg load cell from a functional scale. I'm doing an conditioning circuit for 250lbs load cell. 1) select an accurate load cell (something like this http://www.smdsensors.com/Products/S215-Ultra-Low-Profile-Miniature-Single-Point-Load-Cell/ ). http://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/5B38.pdf I need to use a 500kg gauge to read tension and compression. Alberto. I'm using a LPC1768 ARM Cortex Microcontroller to analyse the analog output from the load cell. There are many tutorials on how to use a INA 125 P with load cells with Arduino,  but none of them really makes much sense. To acquire data using National Instruments softwares you have a bunch of options: First thing I'll invite you to take a look and download INA 125 P datasheet, since it will be useful later. You get the data already digitized. Have fun! Here is my email: heiken01 @hotmail.com (delete the empty space), Alberto One more thing alberto, If i need a VREF 10V I need to supply the INA125 with a symmetrical voltage source of +-15v? When the measuring weight equals or greater than the set value, this will turn on the green led and off the buzzer and red led. -high precision transducers (in the case of load cell you need high precision strain gages) otherwise the level of noise is higher than the smallest level you want to measure There are a number of companies in the universe that make PCB boards. But this resistance variation is very low. I am super impressed with the way you present the topic of strain measurement. So, my advice is always to keep signal amplification as low as possible depending on your needs. The resistance of a wire opposes the flow of current. The total effective measurable range drops from (3.3-2.5= 0.8v) to (1.4 - 0.9 = 0.6v) That is, in the beginning, the display shows ARDUINO BALANCE as welcome text, and after two seconds, it will clear and display the measuring weights. checkdown is for decreasing the set value by 10gms for each press. Now let's come to your case. Can I zero this by adding -77mV to IAref, if so how? Measuring the resistance directly is not always practical, because the change is very small. In other words, you have to select a set of weights in order to retrieve a table having "weight" as an input and "voltage" as output. There are 2 possibilieties: one is to use Matlab ( http://it.mathworks.com/discovery/arduino-programming-matlab-simulink.html ) which uses a nice binding for Arduino applications (and it is really eeeasy). What needs to be done to do so? This has been extremely helpful for some of my hobby projects. With a load of 100 grams, I get around 5.20 Volts - which is unfortunately a little bit too high for the Arduino to measure. Required fields are marked *. Also, you can notice some sort of white protective glue over the load cell and four different colors of wires are coming out, will uncover the secret underneath the white protective glue and the function of these four-color wires later in the article. Pick the data sheet and follow the schematics and you will get the point. Nonetheless, this module is commonly being used to measure weight. What components you prefer to use ? I want to build a S-beam Cell and use it to measure Automobile valve springs at different heights, therefore I will only be measuring in one direction (spring under compression). Mount the load cell on a stable holder. Secondly, the real big problem is how to design a proper powder receptacle for your application. People who share their knowledge are the people who make the world a better place. We did that using if conditions, we have a total of three conditions. Connect red to E+ of HX711 board, connect black to E-, connect white to A+, and connect green to A-, Dout, and clock of the board connect to D4 and D5 respectively. So please don't forget to read this article. Loadcel output will be like a sin wave.. For instance in my application I wanted 1kg to be above 3V, so i loaded the sensor with 1 kg and turned the potentiometer wheel until the circuit output more than 3V. Shouldnt it be at the VREF voltage? If you have two parallel circuits just set R1 with a fine potentiometer (let's say 10k or 20k, with 20 or 50 turns) and set the value of R1 with a precision multimeter, so the gain difference between the two circuits is low. Please I want to make 8 channel strain gauge amplifier . 2) you've messed up with ina128 wiring, in particular it seems to me that you are not running the IC under symmetric power supply (+/- 5V) [remember that the ina128 should work with symmetric voltage sources] I have followed all the steps mentioned above and I am getting a very strange output from the microcontroller. Because i now, that when i try to make this stuff i will get noise and other problem. Nonetheless, this module is commonly being used to measure weight. Would you mind sending me the Gerber files for your pcb as you offer? Coming to you, indeed you can use op-amp instead of the INA 125 P, however things get a little bit harder. I would love to take you flying. HX711 is an ADC chip with preamplifier included. The easiest one is to sample 10 or 20 values and make the average out of it. Now the second thing you have to do is to regulate the circuit gain and reach the desired level of amplification. In fact the weight you want to measure is so small that it is hard to provide a mechanical bench which is able to give you a good accuracy. The next question would be, what type of sensor can be used for weight measurement? Hi Alberto, your tutorial looks great!, i would like to test it with my load cell. So my question is, do I need to supply the load cell with +/- voltage as well? Anyway you can build your own cascade amplifier/conditioner using a general purpose rail to rail op-amp (there are thousands LM7301, LT1677, AD 8505...). Thanks, Ben. I was wondering, could you please share the Gerber files with me? Typical gain value for strain gages amplifiers are between 700 and 2500 (depending on the maximum strain to be recovered). I'm basically requesting you to give/suggest me a reference document from scratch to calculate entire design analysis of circuit. Next, we will explore calibration and test the load cell as a weighing scale. If you do travel to California (Los Angeles area) and would like, you could stay with my girlfriend & me, we have a guest room. Then you subtract the zero level reading to the further readings in order to make sure that Picaxe outputs 0 when force is actually zero. Il condensatore da 0,1 microf è importante ? reed. This conductive wire has a defined resistance. hello Alberto Lavatelli.... Sampling rate is not important in this case. So my question is: Why does increasing the gain resistor also increase the no-load voltage? Exactly, the problem was the power supply, it must be symmetric, if not, data lower 200 mV are unread. To make it short, I can give you a rule of thumb: if you need n levels for your measurements application, you need to provide at least 3*n levels at your ADC, to let you reach the desired precision for your application. Your application is definitely manageable by INA 125 or 128, since you need an amplification gain of about 500 (which is a fair value for those ICs) and, furthermore, since you are working with PLC, the level of noise is easily manageable with a lowpass filter. ga('send', 'pageview');

Thanks for the article! I really enjoyed your tutorial, it was very well written and easy to follow. Can I use the 2.5V reference at IARef at the same time as the 10V for the bridge excitation, so as to get pseudo-ground "feature" still? As a consequence, the procedure is really resilient to system noise and leads you to have a very repeatable instrument (in other words calibration is valid for a long long time). This 0-10v output i 'll send it to a a/d converter from a PLC. for a calibration setup is it reasonable to simply place/stack this cell on top of a good electronic scale and apply forces to the cell ? You can download the code of this project from below. I am quite new into this topic but could you please send me the Gerber files, and also if you don't find it too hard to explain to me what does each of the components do in this circuit and why is it placed where it is. This color may vary according to the manufacturers, so it's better to refer to the datasheet. Ask them for a sample and test it. So, depending on your application, you can measure forces with the same accuracy, with Due INA 125 gain being 5 times lower than the Uno application. In the schematic wires terminate in a screw connector because the original design was intended for a PCB circuit. If you are managing to sense forces both positive and negative, you have to select a symmetric path, so if you load 1 kilogram, you have to provide a -1kg loading too. In fact with those ICs you can have the shortest possible measurement chain, which means the shortest possible noise coming from your circuit. For instance, I often use Phidgets (this is an example) load cells, and they use these colour chart: Once you finished with wiring and connecting things, you can proceed with the next section. Pick a 10k and a 5k resistor and wire them in series. So I thought: Ok, maybe a bigger gain resistor will help. I'm using an Arduino 5V supply to the INA125, and a pot to balance out my bridge. In any case you need to calibrate both the circuits, because of stocasticity: even if nominally the two circuits (and the two load cells) are the same, they're behavior is not identical! when I apply a load of 10grams, I get an analog value between 190 and 210 - after half an hour, it seems like this value slightly decreases. I am asking a question, which sensor is suitable for pressure measurement(I find the weight of CNG ) this is my project to design digital CNG indicator for monitoring to display the value of CNG in kilogram, please send datasheet of pressure sensor? Furthermore you can select only between three levels of amplification. Thanks for your reply Alberto! Force load cells and torque load cells share the same measurement principle, so you only need to buy a torsional load cell, or to exploit a cantilevered shaft in order to load a force load cell from a torque.
