About this item
The SparkFun BOB-13878 Load Sensor Combinator is a handy breakout board designed to connect and combine signals from up to four load cells, commonly used in weight measurement applications. This board simplifies the process of wiring multiple load sensors in parallel, allowing users to easily scale up their force or weight sensing projects without complex circuitry. Load cells typically output small analog voltage changes when subjected to force or weight, and combining multiple sensors can improve accuracy or allow for larger-scale measurements. The Load Sensor Combinator aggregates these signals into a single output, making it easier for microcontrollers or amplifiers (such as the HX711 Load Cell Amplifier) to interpret the combined data. Designed with ease of use in mind, the board features clearly labeled screw terminals for secure sensor connections, robust signal routing, and compact size for straightforward integration into your project. It is widely used in applications such as digital scales, robotics, industrial measurement, and material testing. Whether you’re building a custom scale or integrating multiple sensors to increase the sensing area, the BOB-13878 Load Sensor Combinator offers a reliable, user-friendly solution for load sensor signal management.
