As hardly any scales work analogously, it is of course also possible to measure weights with a digital Raspberry Pi scale. This can be used in various applications as the weight value ranges which can be measured are also almost unlimited. Only a sensor and a load cell are required, which are available for different weight ranges.
In this tutorial we are building a simple Raspberry Pi kitchen scale, whose precision is amazingly accurate. Of course, it is also possible to unscrew an existing (person) scale and read it out using a Raspberry Pi.
