MoleBox: Digital force sensor for school measurements

MoleBox system - 3D printed boxes compatible with BITBEAM construction kit (therefore even with LEGO Technics/Mindstorms). The main purpose of MoleBox is covering a particular sensor or the entire module and simultaneously allowing variable fixing sensors/modules. MoleBoxes are suitable for measurements with Arduino (MoleGraph, school measuring system based on Arduino) or even as part of a robotic construction (m-BITBEAM).

• Sample measuring code and MoleGraph template (ZIP)
• HX711 libraries (bodge HX711)
• HX711 data sheet (PDF)
• HX711 module (Aliexpress)
