Works as expected on analog pins. Outputs are reasonably consistent (depends a lot on how you design the rest of the setup and interference from things like ceiling fans), but I found it's much easier to set triggers based on wide 100mV gaps rather than trying to get a precise numerical estimation of weight. It's also just fun to play around with.

The media could not be loaded. Feets are a bit short, even with the extended version. But I'm making it work for my project. Which is a proof of concept and this is a cheap and great device to prove that out.

Well, the module arrived but it was just the module. I know there is information here on the listing, but it would be nice to have a small card with specifications listed. This way, I know exactly what I’m looking at when I pull it for a project. Also, it would be nice if there was a PDF that characterizes the module in complete detail. Finding detailed documentation for cheap modules seems to be on par with finding a unicorn on the moon.

I plan on using the strain gauge module as a load cell to accurately determine the amount of filament remaining on the reel for my 3D printer. I'll glue the strain gauge to a flexible lever arm and activate the module when the filament reaches a certain level to reduce the required dynamic range. I should be able to get it accurate to a few grams of available filament left on the reel.I will input the strain gauge module's output to an HX711 Load Cell Amplifier A/D and connect that output to ...

I found it hard to get consistent results with this flex sensor... it was hard to find where it was sensitive to bending. However, with a bit of experimenting, it should be an interesting sensor to couple to a microcontroller.
