Weight measurement to computer input?

It doesn't matter how low the resolution step if the accuracy of measurement doesn't match. With bathroom scales it often depends on where you place the scales. Placed on a hard surface is very likely to give a more accurate result than placing them on a carpet.

I doubt if something such a cheap strain gauge claiming 24 bit resolution is any better than 12 bits accurate, and when kept at a constant temperature.

When the thing you are buying is a cheap Chinese thing from China, it seems there would only be very limited scope for selling a fake at a profit.

That;s the key, you charge a similar price to a pucca version.

If yuo make something 25% cheaper people will think they are gettign a good deal and if yuo read carefully it isn't a fake as such.

Dod yuo watch fake or fortune last night, you could learn from that. And and the SD cards a few years ago sold on ebay.

Or ESP32 ... and thanks, that could be handy. ;-)

I've actually got a couple of those and have used them successfully but think an Arduino Nano would be better in this case (and probably wouldn't have to slow it down).

Could be useful, but my cat tells me when her food bowl is empty. She also tells me when the food is no longer to her liking such as it's a bit old or dry, or when she wants her bisciuts or she wants her treat bisciuts.
