Technical notes

Two input channels

The controller’s scope includes two load-cell inputs. Keeping channel identity attached to a reading is a basic requirement for making sense of the measurements together.

Measurement processing

Firmware handles the measurements after acquisition through the load-cell interface. This is the application layer between incoming conversion data and the values used by the controller.

Hardware context

The accompanying controller material includes an ESP32 module schematic and a board view. These place the measurement firmware within a broader embedded hardware context.
