Best Load Cell to Measure Medication Weight?

Former Member

Hello,

I am using a board that has both raspberry pi and arduino capabilities. I am looking for the best load cell to take small measurements such as that of a pill. It would have to be relatively sensitive enough to measure in grams. Anyone have suggestions on the best load cell for something like this? Don't worry if it has a complex set-up. Wiring up a circuit to accompany the cell shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks!

  • Hi Miranda,

     

    Do you need a self contained scale that will measure what you want or a weighing platform that will connect to other devices or programmes? (Canadian spelling)

     

    My company makes a scale that is used to measure the remaining doses in an asthma inhaler (pMDI)   It has a custom input mode that would allow you to programme in the weight of a single pill or dose of a medicine, and from there calculate the number of pills being weighed. 

     

    I'm trying to develop a scale platform that will weigh items as low a .03g and send that number via Bluetooth to an iPhone or Android device to be processed.   There are a ton of bathroom scale and kitchen scale products with Bluetooth, but nothing for jewelry scales.    I can arrange to send you a sample, in exchange for your input into my project.

    Hi Stan,

     

    Ran across this post and was wondering if your scale ever came to fruition?  We are looking for exactly what you have described above.  Please let me know.

     

    Thanks.
