Summary

Can operate with the Pi or as a standalone Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device. Replaces the HX711 single channel ADC with an 8 channel.


Features

  • AD7124 24 bit ADC with 8 differential inputs

Supports 4 load cells or four scales with 4 loads cells in parallel.

  • Instrumentation Amplifiers for load cells.

Maybe not necessary. Preliminary tests using the EVAL-AD7124-8 board are able to resolve to .001 lbs (.45 g) without external aplifiers.

  • Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) support using a Nordic nRF52
  • BMD301 32 bit ARM processor with GPIO lines and eight 16 bit ADC inputs
  • 40 pin header plug into a Pi


  • two coin cells to power the BMD301


  • BMD301 (Nordic nRF52) can be programmed via the Pi.
