Great starter sensor
As someone new to electronics, this was easy to integrate. The display module plugs in nicely. Would recommend watching a tutorial video before starting.

Exactly what I needed
Fast shipping and the product matches the description perfectly. The aluminum body feels durable enough for my robotic arm gripper project.

Works but sensitive to noise
The sensor itself is fine, but I had to add extra shielding to my wires to prevent electrical noise from affecting the readings. Make sure your power supply is clean.

Good value, clear instructions
Great little component for hobbyists. Calibration was straightforward. I deducted one star because the wiring diagram on the box was slightly faded, but online resources helped.

Perfect for DIY Scales
This sensor works flawlessly with my Arduino project. The build quality is solid, and the digital tube display is bright and easy to read. Just remember you need to buy the HX711 module separately as stated.

Stable readings
I've tested this against a calibrated lab scale, and the variance is minimal once properly tared. Excellent stability for the price point.
Q: How many wires does the load cell have?
A: The load cell features a standard 4-wire configuration (Red, Black, White, Green) for easy integration with most HX711 boards.
Q: Can I use this with a Raspberry Pi?
A: Yes, you can use this with a Raspberry Pi, but you must connect it via an HX711 ADC module first, as the Pi cannot read analog signals directly.
Q: Is the digital display waterproof?
A: No, the digital tube display unit is not waterproof. It should be kept in a dry environment or housed in a protective enclosure if used outdoors.
Q: Does this package include the HX711 amplifier module?
A: No, the HX711 module is not included in this package. You will need to purchase it separately to interface the load cell with a microcontroller.
Q: What is the maximum weight this sensor can accurately measure?
A: This specific model has a rated capacity of 50kg. For best accuracy, it is recommended to use it within 80% of its maximum capacity.
