Everything you need to take accurate force measurements with and Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or other microcontroller in one complete package!

Information

Load cell - Sturdy aluminum alloy construction. Strain gauges pre-attached with strain relieved wires. Accurately measures forces from 0-5kg (0-11 lb).
HX711 - This top of the line load cell amplifier mounted on a breakout board pairs perfectly with the load cell to provide fast, accurate force measurements. It measures small changes in the resistance of the strain gauges mounted to the load cell and passes these values directly to any microcontroller (like an Arduino or Raspberry Pi).
Load cell specs:
-Wire leads pre-attached, 22 cm (8.5 in) long
-Dimensions 12.7 mm high, 12.7 mm wide, 80 mm long (0.5 in x 0.5 in x 3.15 in)
-4 mounting holes, 15 mm spacing on each side. One side both holes tapped M4 thread, the other side both holes tapped M5 thread.
HX711 specs:
-Operation Voltage: 2.7V–5V
-Operation Current: <1.5mA
-Mounted on breakout board
-Includes breakaway headers for connection, soldering required
