Arduino Weight Sensor – Easy & Accurate DIY Weight Measurement
Learn about Arduino Weight Sensors for precise weight measurement in DIY projects, industrial prototypes, and automation. Sensors and Gauges supplies compatible load cells and modules.
An Arduino Weight Sensor is a popular solution for hobbyists, engineers, and developers who want to measure weight accurately using an Arduino microcontroller. Combining a load cell with an amplifier module like the HX711, Arduino weight sensors allow real-time weight measurement for DIY projects, robotics, smart scales, and prototype testing. At Sensors and Gauges, we provide Arduino-compatible load cells, HX711 modules, and accessories to help you quickly set up reliable weight measurement systems.
What is an Arduino Weight Sensor?
An Arduino Weight Sensor typically consists of:
Load Cell – Converts force (weight) into an electrical signal.
HX711 Module or Amplifier – Amplifies the small electrical signal from the load cell and converts it to digital data.
Arduino Board – Reads the digital data and processes it for display or automation.
This combination allows precise weight measurement with an affordable, DIY-friendly setup.
