arduino scale thrust meter

ok so im very new to the arduino world and need a little guidance for a project id like to start working on. I’ve been building model rocket motors and want to test and record their performance. I want to dissect a scale build a test stand and then wire it up to a computer to chart out a graph of the said performance. Im not sure where exactly to start here so can anyone help point me in the right direction for making this? thanks in advance!!
