Strain Gauge Load Cell - 4 Wires - 10Kg

OverviewPinoutWiringRelated groups
Strain Gauge Load Cell - 4 Wires - 10Kg — Adafruit — 5231

This 10 Kg Strain Gauge measures 80mm long and has the same functionality as the 75mm long version. We got a few of these when we ordered the 75mm version and rather than toss them we are offering them for sale at a discount!

Displays

Character LCDs, SPI TFTs, e-paper modules and larger capacitive-touch TFT panels solve different display jobs. Treat display class, interface, controller, resolution, touch, refresh behaviour, storage, voltage and mounting as separate swap checks.
