load cell bricklet

[Otori Shigeru]

Hi everyone,

I am quite new to Tinkerforge and I've got the following project I would like to install. I've got a gas bag at my research plant. To measure the mass of the produced gas I would like to hang the gas bag at my load cell. Therefore I'am not sure how to manage it properly.

* Due to the momentum of force does it make a difference where exactly I am fixing my load cell beam and where I am putting the load on the beam?

* Do I have to isolate the beam ?

Currently I've tried to calibrate the system but the weight shown is fluctuating a lot. I would be grateful if there is anybody who ever had a similar problem or an idea how to fix this issues. Recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks Jonas
