Component request: Load cells
Malu
I would like to see the input component "Load Cells" (see: https://www.tinytronics.nl/shop/en/sensors/weight-pressure-force/load-cells/load-cell-50kg)

Hi Malu, from the description of the component it looks like these load cells would need an amplifier chip (https://www.tinytronics.nl/shop/en/sensors/weight-pressure-force/load-cells/load-cell-amplifier-hx711) so that they can interface properly with an Arduino, so on the blokdots side we would have to support a connection to the amplifier.
This should be a fun input component for the future.
However, we're prioritizing Grove hardware components at the moment, so I can't say when we will get around to something like this. Or maybe we lobby SeeedStudio to make a Grove component for the amplifier? ;-)
