Hi, We are trying to measure less than 1 newton of force and are looking to use a 'Phidget' to do this. In initial tests the 20Kg cell appeared the it could 'see' the data, so a smaller 1Kg cell (4540) was acquired from PiHut and wired the same way. It appears that this cell has a tendency to drift....

Hi,
In trying to find a better load cell I have come across FRC4114_0, would this be suitable for the task we are attempting?

Hi,
Thanks for that.

Hi All, In using the Phidget DAQ1500_0, I used the example code to interface to it and am reading out some valid data, how-ever the units I presume are grams this is not clear. I am hoping to convert the 'grams' to Newtons to allow for comparison with other data. If the reading is 6170.253 and the b...

Hi, I have a Phidget DAQ1500_0 it appears to loose calibration when used with a load cell. If I run the example code in C# and run through the calibration process of the example program, the cell appears to calibrate correctly but drifts very quickly. If the cell is loaded to 800g's it will start re...

Hi,
I extracted everything (or I thought I did will have more of a fiddle) when I can. I was a unsure that I had.
Thanks

This was sent as email yesterday but just bounced back! Dear Sirs, My company is looking to the phidget sensors on a variety of tasks. At present I am using the phidget Load Cell (20Kg Version) to try to pick up vibrations. While the phidget appears to be able to pick up the vibration once calibrate...
