SEN-10245 Full Scale Range

Sensors Force & Weight
1

Hello

I was wondering how the SEN-10245’s range was impacted when multiple of them were used in a Wheatstone bridge configuration. The current capacity is 40-50 kg, is the new capacity just 4x that (160-200 kg)?

Thanks you!

Yes - it’ll also have increased accuracy https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/ge … load-cells

Just be sure to re-run your calibration(s) after changing the setup :slight_smile:

Thanks for the answer to my last question.

I had a follow-up, since the FSR of a single load sensor at an excitation voltage of 5 V is 5 mV (since the sensitivity is 1 mV/V), how would the FSR of the sensors change if they are put in a Wheatstone Bridge configuration? Would the FSR still be 0 - 5 mV? Or would it be something else?

Thank you!
