Well, I know that this is not directly related to the pycom device, but the code and load cell are connected to the device so I am hoping to gain from the wealth of knowledge and experience on this forum.
Until a few weeks ago, I knew nothing at all about load cells and have never used one, now I know enough to be able to read one and understand the many factors that affect drift.
The one I am trying to crack right now is temperature drift, and rather than re-inventing the wheel, I wondered if anyone else had been through this exercise and can save me some time in understanding how to cope with it.
Obviously, the characteristics of the cell material will change with temperature, but will this be a linear offset that can easily be fixed with a factor variable or is it as I suspect much more than that?
Any insight into this would be most gratefully received!
