Hi all, I’m making a simple cantilever beam measurement system using 2 strain gages (120Ω).
The two gages make up one leg of my Wheatstone bridge; the other leg will be made up using 120Ω resistors.
Because of tolerances etc I will need to null the system before I add any weight to the end of the beam.
So how is best to go about this, I’ve been looking about on Google but all I can find is to add a variable resistor into the circuit, but I’m not sure where and what value to use.
Any help will be much appreciated.
