Phidget Scale Kit

Introduction

Welcome to the Phidget Scale Kit! In this project, you will learn how to create a scale using your Phidgets.

Here are some of the things you will learn how to do:

  1. Use a Wheatstone Bridge Phidget to convert voltage into weight.
  2. Calibrate your scale to make it more accurate.
  3. Attach different load cells to your scale in order to measure weights ranging from 0-25kg (0-55lbs).

When you're ready, move on to the next step to review the parts inventory.
