After a failed attempt at Hive Interface board version 0.4, work has begun on version 0.5.

Analog Devices AD7124-8 Eval Board connected to the Nordic nRF52840 Product Development Kit

A different approach from version 0.4 was taken. Evaluation boards and Product Development Kits (PDK) were purchased.

Goal

Create a low power, battery operated, wireless scale with extended communcation range using Bluetooth Low Energy version 5 (BLE5) with a high performance Analog to Digital Converter (ADC)

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
