Phidget Bridge 4 input

Product Features

The PhidgetBridge is the interface board needed to measure the output from a load cell. You can connect up to four load cells, strain gauges, or wheatstone bridge sensors.

Product Description

The PhidgetBridge lets you connect up to 4 un-amplified Wheatstone bridges, such as:

    strain gauges
    compression load cells
    pressure sensors/Barometers
    piezoresistive accelerometers
    Magnetoresistive sensors (Compasses)

The data rate and gain values can be configured in software.
