I am looking to build a device to measure RPM and torque then do some simple math and output horsepower produced. Can someone point me in the right direction for a loadcell and tachometer that a picaxe controller can take accurate readings from that won't break the bank? Thanks, JTB

I have a load cell and one of THESE cool signal amplifiers from Omega. Picaxe can read a ADC value between 0 and 255 right? I want to be able to measure 0 to 900 Kilograms on the load cell by the whole Kg. How do I go about accomplishing this if (what I understand anyway) 255 is my max...
