I have a few projects in mind where I need to measure solid objects somehow. I need to know of a way to do this, that doesn’t use weight as its sensor. This is because I will be using the same setup for several objects weighing different amounts. The object size for one of my projects is only about 1/16” to 1/2” or so… a different project in mind will only need to measure a few different types of powder.
Liquid is easy to measure. Float valves and all different kinds of electronic liquid measuring are available. However, I’ve never seen anything about solid objects. :?
There’s a fact that I think I’ll have to face in this though: I’ll have to use mechanics. I hate mechanics, and they hate me... badly. (Especially small mechanics. Ugh, bad memories… those **** TINY springs!!!) :lol: Of course, some type of pre-built mechanical assembly is preferable… but not likely.
Any suggestions, hints, tips, or… whatever you want to call them , would be greatly appreciated.
No no… I’m not just saying that… I mean it. GREATLY appreciated. I’ve got nothin’ on the matter. :roll: So really, ANYTHING.
Thanks a ton.
