Using multiple load cells


hi there,

i'm trying use components found in digital scale interface arduino in order measure weight of human.
after research, found using ina125p amplifier able accurate reading load cell.

the hard part comes have 4 load cells @ disposal use. i'm assuming each of them takes 50kgs, , i'll need weigh @ least 150kg's. load cells have 3 wires each. think means half bridge? i'm not entirely sure.

basically need bit of or guidance how connect them use arduino, preferable not measuring output pcb in use scale.
is there perhaps circuit diagram sort of connection? i've been searching hours , every thread find or internet page find doesn't seem quite fit problem.

thanks in advance  :)

the ina125p expensive , half of need precise readings. amplifies signal (stably!) unless use in combination ad converter you'll 10 bits of precision arduino can provide. ads1231 full bridge (or ads1232 2 bridges) 24 bits of precision better choice there other options depending on how precise need readings.

with respect how wire them need provide more detail on you're trying , better description (picture?) of strain gauges have. typically these using in pairs form wheatstone bridge suspected that's not required.
