Strain gauge - wheatstone bridge: sensitivity to temperature changes

I have made a strain gauge measurement system using 3-wire quarter-bridge configuration as depicted here: The bridge is connected to ADC (ADS1262) with ratiometric connection. R1, R2 and R3 sit on ...

Wheatstone Bridge strain gauge thermal compensation design

I'm designing a full Wheatstone bridge for measuring the bending strain in a steel bar. I have a circuit available to me that uses an ADS1232 to measure the output of the wheatstone bridge. When ...

Loadcell strain gauge with 10 V excitation

I am designing loadcell (spec) measuring using 24-bit adc (MCP3561) with excitation 10 V. But I couldn't find the reference design for 6-wire loadcell that its sense pins connect to ref+ pin of ADC. ...

AD7730 calibration failure

EDIT: The exact issue is this, the ADC has a gain register (set during internal FS calibration and again at System FS calibration) and an offset register set during system zero calibration. The ...

Negative differential to instrumentation amplifier causing problems

I am using a pair of strain gauges to make a weight scale. The strain gauges are the three-wire type that you can by on Amazon or Sparkfun. The strain gauges form a full wheatstone bridge, whose ...

Which one is the better way to feed analog input to my ADC?

I am planning to use an AD7730L analogue to digital converter (ADC) chip, with a quarter bridge circuit. Everything was on the track until I realised something, which indicated that things were ...

Why does this seem like a strange way of connecting a bridge circuit to the ADC?

I was planning to hook up a quarter bridge circuit to the AD7730LBR Analogue to Digital Converter that I bought. I was having a look at a "Load_Cell_Schematic" provided by this webpage (the download ...

Using DAC to create reference in a wheatstone bridge for strain gauge?

I am designing a circuit where a microcontroller can measure the load forced upon a load cell with strain gauges, making a half bridge. A traditional Wheatstone bridge looks like this: Resistors ...

Weird reading from NAU7802 ADC

I'm using an NAU7802 ADC which has a built in amplifier. I'm trying to use it to read a strain gauge but it keeps giving me weird readings. Eventually I resorted to shorting the two differential ...

Connecting the Shield of a strain gage cable connector to PCB with ADC

I have a half-bridge strain gage sensor (pre-assembled product) with a 30cm cable, which I am trying to interface with my PCB containing a 24-bit ADC. The connector at the cable end toward the ADC (i....
