I would like to connect a Load Cell to an Electric Imp and read the weight's value.

I have found quite a few of tutorials where a temperature sensor is attached to the Electric Imp (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z6UdGik3z0) but for some reason when I see examples with Load Cell it seems that I have to use:

• A load cell
• A load cell amplifier (for example: XH711 - Sparkfun - Load Cell Amplifier)
• A board (for example: Arduino mini pro - Sparkfun - Arduino Pro Mini)

My question is, can I just connect a load cell (or maybe a load cell amplifier) directly to the Electric Imp and read the value from there?
