Bending Strain Gauge Sensor BF350 Weight Pressure Module Y3 Weighing Amplifier Module

Description

What it is

The Bending Strain Gauge Sensor BF350 is a module for Arduino that allows measuring pressure and weight. This sensor uses a Y3 module to amplify the signals detected by the piezoelectric sensor, making it suitable for accurate weighing projects.

Features

• Measures pressure and weight
• Ideally used for industrial applications
• Includes a Y3 module for signal amplification

What it is for

This sensor is ideal for weighing and pressure measurement projects. You can use it to build simple weighing tools or integrate it into more complex systems that require accurate force measurements.

Tutorial: How to use Bending Strain Gauge Sensor

This sensor measures pressure and weight using a Y3 module. Ideal for weighing and pressure measurement projects.

What you need

• Bending Strain Gauge Sensor BF350
• Y3 Weighing Amplifier Module
• Arduino
• Pull-up Resistor (10kΩ)

Steps

1. Connect the BF350 sensor to pin A0 of Arduino.
2. Connect the pull-up resistor to pin A0 and VCC of Arduino.
3. Connect VCC and GND of the sensor to VCC and GND of Arduino.
4. Load the code onto Arduino.
5. Install the Y3 Weighing Amplifier module.
6. Connect VCC and GND of the Y3 module to VCC and GND of Arduino.
7. Check the datasheet for the correct pin configuration.
8. Test the system with a known weight.

Example code

```
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  int value = analogRead(A0);
  Serial.println(value);
  delay(1000);
}
```
