    if you have two, you can stack them and use the first schematic

    if you have only 1 load cell with 3 wires, use the second schematic

    Hello, greetings from Argentina. I want to ask you a question, I want to make a similar amplifier for my 100kg load cell for the brake. But the person who printed me the PCB asked me for the "files" to print it, you could help me with that ??

    And another question, for my load cell 100kg 4 wires are well the following components:
    - INA 122PA
    - Ceramic capacitor 0,22uf 50v
    - Trimpot cermet 1k 25 tours
    If not, what do you recommend changing ??

    I'm sorry to bother you, is that doing something like this here in Argentina is expensive, and I'd like to be safe and spend money just once.
    Thank you very much, Sorry for the inconvenience and my English.

    Atte Alexis.

    hi!

    stick to 100nF capacitor

    I added the pdf in the first post ;-)

    Thanks a lot!!
    Do you think you could replace ina122 with ad627 or ad623 on your PCB ?? Or do I need a board with different design ??

    Hello, can I use INA114PA οn this project because I can't find INA122.

    Thank you.

    hello,
    INA114 has 3 op amp and it seems it has better specs than INA122 https://www.findic.us/price/ina114-dzldm0aOz.html

    It can be used as a sensor amplifier as well :) but maybe not with the same values of resistor for the gain... Check the specs

    nice pcb layout!
    did you check the continuity between the sockets? to check your soldering

    hi, tell me, which controller do you use for this board? and if you can, share the plateau and sketch
