Hi,
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Weighing-Sensor-AD-Module-Dual-channel-24-bit-A-D-Conversion-HX711-Shieding-UK-/301751495614?hash=item4641ca6bbe:g:xpgAAOSwRLZT4jjm
Just wandering if anybody has used the above with a PICAXE. (I've ordered one, but it will be a while before I find time to play).
It appears to read a load cell, presumably as part of a wheatstone bridge configuration, amplifier the resistance / voltage change and output a value.
As usual with ebay stuff, datasheet is hard to come by, but sparkfun seem to do a similar module with more info https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13230
Just wandering if anybody has successfully created a project based around this using a PICAXE? I have an A-Level systems student wishing to use one in the near future & just want to wrap my head around it first so I can assist when he inevitably gets stuck. He want's to create a coin weighing/sorting system.
Any feedback greatly received.
