Hi bob, I work with Abderrahman and we are trying to make a tensile forces sensor. As for now, we have made a resistive bridge (Wheatstone half bridge with 2 strain gauges) to measure the strain , and we want to amplify and convert the output of the bridge. The ADS122U04 appears to be appropriate for the project. We are using the schematics from the ADS122u04 datasheet : I am not familiar with the communication protocol and the equipment requiered (but i understand how serial communication works) . We only have a small UART-to-USB converter and the HyperTerminal Software to send and receive datas. If i understand we have to use an interface to communicate with the ADS122U04 from a PC. Can we do it with the converter (see bellow) or do we need an interface like the one you suggest? Converter CP2102 USB-UART : Do you have any other suggestions or advices concerning the project/schematic ? Best regards, Allan FONTAINE
