The project is a wireless digital scale.It illustrates the functionality of Hexabitz H26R00 load cell (strain gauge) module. It also uses USB module H1ARx and the bridge between them are two module of XBEE.
H26R00 module can be used as an industrial scale or home scale with an acceptable accuracy, just choose the right load cell to your application, wire it to the module, and type its values.
Hexabitz USB Scale Software shows the calculated weight acquired by the module H26R00 and selects the preferred unit of measurements, reading value from a load cell connected either to channel 1 or channel 2 of the H26R00 module, rate/time of sent data to be displayed, or one can activate infinite time switch to send measurements endlessly, zero calibration button to remove the possible additional weight produced by the scale dish as an instance and finally STOP buttom to end the receiving. You can find the software's repo in this link: https://github.com/HexabitzPlatform/USB-Scale-Software
When you click read button the software sends a message via virtual serial COM port to H1ARx module, Which forwards this message to the XBEE 1 (router) and this module send this message to XBEE 2 (coordinate) who connect to H26R00 module by RX TX.We can transform the weight and message between two modules (H1ARx -H26R00) by XBEE for 20 meter inside and 180 meter outside and this number Depends on many things(block-outside....etc).
we use (XCTU) for programming XBEE
