Make your own corner balance scales?
Has anyone made their own corner balance scales. I think that $1K for a set of scales is crazy. I thought about making my own.
All you need are four button style compression load cells (used for ~$50 each 1K#s) A few small voltage amplifiers (home built) and a digital MM to read the V out. Heck, even buy 4 of these for $10 each. I think your home-built price would be about $300.
the load cells typically have a calibration curve to convert voltage out to load (mass). I think it should be easy enough to put the load cell between some plates to drive the car onto.
What do you think? Discuss amongst yourselves.
