LOAD CELL MODULE
In this tutorial we will learn how to program a simple Load Cell project onto the Load Cell Board.
Supplies
Load Cell Module available from below link
Prerequisites
Since the code is developed in Keil environment, a basic understanding of the Keil is a must.
Following is the software that must be pre-installed for this project.
1. Download and Install the Keil software(Keil Keygen Mandatory)
2. Download and Install Database Installer(TH065_OCD_ICE)

Import the Code Build and Debug It
Output Read Tool
By using Termite we can read the output of module. The UART Protocol Frame Format is as follows. Configure the UART for 115200, 8 Bits, No parity, 1 stop bit. The module is configured as slave device.
To read from module send ‘R’. The module sends total 8 bytes of data that is 4 bytes (32 bit) of raw value data and 4 byte (32 bit) of calibrated actual readings in float of weight sensor reading in MSB first format.
