Weighing Circuit

Leave a Comment / Electronics / Wiser Path Farms

Today, I completed building a circuit that can find the weight of an object. It works by collecting the readings from three force-sensitive resistors (FSRs) and passing them through an analog-to-digital converter. The FSRs are the dark, paddle-shaped things standing up from the breadboard. Once the frame is built, the FSRs will support the weight […]

Thermocouple Issues

Leave a Comment / Biomeiler, Electronics / Wiser Path Farms

To measure temperatures in the biomeiler, I buried thermocouples in strategic locations. This is an ideal way to measure temperatures in such a situation. The way a thermocouple works is that two types of metal are welded together and that junction is placed at the location where the temperature is to be measured. At
