Introduction: LOAD CELL MODULE
In this tutorial we will learn how to program a simple Load Cell project onto the Load Cell Board.
Supplies
Load Cell Module available from below link
Step 1: Prerequisites
Since the code is developed in Keil environment, a basic understanding of the Keil is a must.
Following is the software that must be pre-installed for this project.
1. Download and Install the Keil software(Keil Keygen Mandatory)
2. Download and Install Database Installer(TH065_OCD_ICE)

3. Download the source code from the following Git Repository
https://github.com/sourcewell-devices-pvt-ltd/FwDe...
4.Load Cell schematic are available at :

5. Load Cell manual are available at :
Step 2: Megawin 8051 ICE Adapter Connections
Step 3: Import the Code Build and Debug It
Step 4: Output Read Tool
By using Termite we can read the output of module. The UART Protocol Frame Format is as follows. Configure the UART for 115200, 8 Bits, No parity, 1 stop bit. The module is configured as slave device.
To read from module send ‘R’. The module sends total 8 bytes of data that is 4 bytes (32 bit) of raw value data and 4 byte (32 bit) of calibrated actual readings in float of weight sensor reading in MSB first format.
