Hello All,
I’m looking at getting a Logomatic v2 to log the output of a loadcell. It isn’t for rocketry use, but long term remote weight measurements. It looks like i will need an amplifier from my load cell. Has anyone used this product? I’m just wondering if it is possible, how much work I’ll have to do to get it to work.

The logomatic is a neat device, I haven’t used that specifically, but have used Arduino and similar controllers. You might have already found this out, but you almost certainly won’t need an amplifier to read the load cell output with it. On the other hand, hooking it up correctly might be an exercise itself. The one thing I’d watch out for is the voltage the load cell operates at. Since the logomatic is a 3.3v device, a 5v sensor might damage the device. If it turns you need a 5v device, I know the Arduino comes in a 5v flavor, and I’m sure there are plenty of other options.
