@Asmyldof -- we still hear you
Are you sure?
I could swear I lost it somewhere

Do you guys actually use favourite tags?
And if so, why not?

@wouter-van-ooijen hah. beat you

hi all
can anyone help me?
i am looking for a weight sensor which measures the weight continuously
19:19
@yogece what kind of weight sensor
@crasic thanks for the reply :) to measure the chicken coop the sensor would be always (27x7) connected with it and it shouldn't drag due to continuous load
19:40
@yogece something you connect to a PC, a seperate component that requires you to build support circuits, or something usable with a microcontroller like arduino? There are countless weight sensors of various types out there
the 24/7 duty cycle is not the problem
@crasic but due to the continuous load sensor performance degrades cant use load cell
have to use some other sensor
well that certainly depends on what sensor you buy and what kind of accuracy you are looking for
you can have a camera pointed at a bathroom scale and have a script extract the weight of the chicken coup. Or you can use a fancy load cell and sample it every few seconds.
suggest me some sensor with good repeatability and low drag due to aging
you haven't answered any relevant technical questions
interface, stability requirements, accuracy, range
If you want to track your chickens gaining weight, I don't think minor cap sensor drift is going to affect your yield
for capacatitive load sensors
19:56
accuracy +- 100gm
range max:50kg
interface:any
hm, I suck at laying out protoboards... is there any good software for it? like fritzing, just usable...
@PlasmaHH are you designing multilayer board?
@yogece I have never heard of multilayer protoboards...
20:13
@PlasmaHH oh sorry i thought PCB prototyping. but you are asking about general purpose (proto) PCB board

@NickAlexeev What did end up getting for your 1/2" flow rate sensor? I am getting this water valve which also has 1/2" NPS threads
21:03
@MLM I did manage to find the right fittings. I'll get back and supply more details.

k, thanks. It seems like NPT stuff is good enough with some tape around the threads from other peoples experiences.
@MLM Other people will not be the ones dealing with your leaks (of... from... onto...). In the engineering world, AdaFruit would simply carry the appropriate fittings. It sucks that they don't.

Good point. I am making a water exchanger for a fish tank
Valve is for the water flowing into the tank from the "faucet"

@PlasmaHH 6layer prootoboard! Yes! Do it!
@PlasmaHH Doesn't every decent program have options to repeat patterns along certain lines and such? Even if you don't know them, in Altium the copy-paste feature is powerful enough to make it a much lighter load.
