After a failed attempt at Hive Interface board version 0.4, work has begun on version 0.5.
A different approach from version 0.4 was taken. Evaluation boards and Preview Development Kits (PDK) were purchased.
Contents
Goal
Create a low power, battery operated, wireless scale with extended communication range with a high performance Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) based on the Internet of Things (IOT) paradigm.
Features
- AD7124-8 24 bit ADC with 8 differential inputs
Provides independent channels for each of the 4 load cells or four scales with 4 loads cells in parallel.
- Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) support
Uses the Nordic nRF52 32 bit ARM processor with GPIO lines and eight 16 bit ADC inputs.
- 40 pin header plug into a Pi.
The board can run from the Pi without the BMD301 as a replacement for the HX711
Development
[AD7124 Development]
