I am trying so set up a 4 wire load cell to measure weight. I have it connected to a INA126P in amp and that is connected to the Arduino Uno. I am not detecting any response when I apply weight to the load cell, and I don't know what is going on. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate the advice.
This is the load cell that I am using: https://www.phidgets.com/products.php?category=34&product_id=3136_0
Here are the connections I have:
Load Cell
INA126P
Arduino Code:
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
Serial.println(A0);
delay(200);
}
This is the load cell that I am using: https://www.phidgets.com/products.php?category=34&product_id=3136_0
Here are the connections I have:
Load Cell
Red (E+) - 5V
Black (E-) - GND
Green (S+) - V+ in (INA126 Pin #3)
White (S-) - V- in (INA126 Pin #2)
INA126P
Pin 1 & 8 - Gain Resistor (Tried none, 80, and 1k)
Pin 2 (V- In) - White Load Cell Wire
Pin 3 (V+ Out) - Green Load Cell Wire
Pin 4 (V-) - GND
Pin 5 (Ref) - GND
Pin 6 (Vo) - Arduino Pin A0
Pin 7 (V+) - 5V
Arduino Code:
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
Serial.println(A0);
delay(200);
}
