Hi All,

I want to find a sensor to interface with my Arduino to measure the weight of a bucket (from 0 to 2kg roughly).

All of the load cells I can find are at least £50, which is really expensive.

I don't want to hack a kitchen or bathroom scale, it has to be an off-the-shelf component so that I can make lots of these devices if my design works.

Does anyone know of a cheap load cell - it does not have to be very accurate - or a better way to measure weight?

Thanks.
 

bathroom or kitchen scales uses various system how to detect weight(capacitive sensor or impulse counter). Load cells obviously not especially in cheap models.
