Hello Everyone!
I would be grateful if someone could suggest me a low cost (preferably < $2 - 2.5) small size weight sensor. The range of weight I wish to measure is 50 grams to 5 kilograms. Accuracy is not all that important. Could be +/- 5 to 8% or even worse. I want to use this sensor just to get a ON/OFF kind of a electronic output.
Initially, I thought to use a piezo transducer but later read on wiki and was upset to know that it cannot be used for static weight measurements.
A kitchen weighing scale fits my bill both in terms of accuracy and range. I could slightly modify it and attach a precision Pot to get an electronic output BUT it's very big in size.
I would be thankful, if someone helped me with a nice solution.
Thanks
