Kitchen scale with Arduino flavour

This Arduino project, described in the November & December 2017 issue of Elektor is both useful and original in many respects. It is notable for the use of a component a bit out of the ordinary: a load cell. For electronics purposes, this is a simple variable resistance which measures the mechanical deformation to which it is subjected.

Free Article of the Week! USB Pseudo Battery

In one respect all batteries are identical: sooner or later they die on you! Even rechargeable types are not immune from this problem, as they always need charging again. This makes indoor use inconvenient of devices designed only for portable use, with no provision for connecting an AC adapter. All the same, wherever you find electronic gadgets, a solution is not far away. A pseudo-battery with a USB connection provides permanent power.
