Hi, I use the PhidgetBridge 4-Input and a 100Kg Load cell as a scale. It is in daily use and worked well the last couple of month. Last week it weight ~100g less for some reason although nothing has changed, except that the cables that connects the load cell to the phidget has been shortened a bit. ...
It seems that the cables were the reason. Although they seemed to be fix before, after loosening and retightening them it worked fine again. Should have checked this before posting it... Thanks again.
Thanks for your reply. It is the raw value read from the phidgets tray control. The values jumped and were normal again after a restart of the host computer. The connections looked fine, but I will double check them.
Hi, I am using the PhidgetBridge 4-Input and a 100Kg Load cell, which worked perfectly until some days ago where it startet to measure negative values, which vanished, after restarting the computer it is attached to. What could be the reason for this. The load cell is not exposed to extreme temperat...
Many thanks for the information @jdecoux . I currently zero the scale after each measuring session and average the last three measurements during each measuring session. I don't need 100% precision but check if the difference to the last measurement is in a certain range with a tolerance. This works...
Hi, I am using load cells with a PhidgetBridge 4x USB usually with load cells 0-5kg. For a project a need a 0-500kg load cell but most of the weighings will happen between 0 - 2kg, only in very rare and extreme exceptions it can go up to 150kg or more. Is the precision of the 0-500 Kg load cell in t...
Many thanks @mparadis and sorry for the late answer. The Buffer is a good idea I wrote a tiny ring buffer for this and will try this. I originally used the "onVoltageRatioInput0_VoltageRatioChange" event and the ratio that comes with it as well as "getVoltageRatio" to acquire the...
Hi, I am working on a project with load cells for a scale where I need to do a measurement at a certain point of time. I build a scale which works as a user interface and recognizes if something is put on the scale and identifies the item based on it weight. I am using the JavaScript API with a Phid...
Hi I am developing a Kiosk App and I need to use a fanless Mini-Computer (e.g. Atom Z8350, 8GB,128GB, USB 3.0, Win 10 64bit) and I am wondering if and how well they work on these machines. I am using the PhidgetBridge 4-Input with a 5KG load cell and the remote server service that the Phidget22 Cont...
