An early goal of Hivetool was to develop a $50 scale. A developers kit is being planned to
- get beta units in the field for testing,
- gather user feedback and
- provide a platform to foster open source community development.
It will be available at cost plus a voluntary contribution to the Center for Honeybee Research, a 501(c)(3) organization to help cover R&D expenses. The kit will contain the hard to find or special order items from China:
- four 50 kg C3 load cells
- one HX711 ADC board with shield and screw terminals attached
- one TTL to USB serial converter cable
The rest of the materials can be obtained from local suppliers. The only tools needed for construction are a hack saw and drill. All of the electronic connections either plug in or use screw terminals. There is no soldering, no lethal voltages.
