5 load cells

Post by Myrtle22 »

Hi I am attempting to build a 5 load cell force balance.

I need five separate readings from 5 s-shaped load cells.

In order to do this can I:

1. connect the five load cells to one PhidgetBridge 4-Input and one 2-input Wheatstone Bridge Phidget

2. connect both Wheatstone Bridge Phidgets into a single VINT Hub Phidget

will this work?

Thanks!

This will work (DAQ1500 + HUB0000 + 1046),both the hub and the 1046 would connect to USB ports on you computer (the 1046 doesn't connect to the Vint hub)

But I recommend you do HUB0000 + three DAQ1500, because it's less expensive and they're newer devices.
