Hello everyone,
This is my first time using this forum so just let me know if I am going about this right. I am a second year engineering student.
So I need to build a gain circuit for the load cell for which I have included the data sheet. I would like to achieve the maximum resolution possible using this load cell as the application will be sensing forces in the range of 0-2.5 newtons.
Currently I am running the system on a resistive force sensor (flexiforce) using a dual op amp LM358. This is because there is a separate function in the device in which this type of sensor is suitable. What I would like is to run both the load cell and the resistive sensor off the same 25V DC power supply. If this is not possible or if it is a lot easier to use two power supplies that is an option.
I appreciate any input and guidance.
Thanks,
James Lamarche
