Standoffs mount a plate to the beams so that weight on the plate cause deformation on the beam that the strain gauges can measure. An HX711 module takes care of managing the whole thing.

Prior knowledge needed: ECEA 5340 Sensors and Sensor Circuit Design ... We have a video on a teardown of a weight scale for you to watch, where we teach you how the strain gauges are arranged in an ...

Here’s a neat trick for your next 3D-printer build or retrofit: a Z-axis sensor using a DIY strain gauge made from SMD resistors. We’re betting it could have plenty of other applications ...

“Small aerial robots often struggle with traditional flow-sensing technologies due to strict weight and size restrictions,” Tanaka explained. “Therefore, utilizing simple wing strain sensors ...
