DIY corner weighing scales?

Interesting to see how that all progresses Chris.

If it works, do you think you could set up a second rig to send over to the East Coast for Sydney toymodders to use?

We have a set of the proper expensive 4 corner weight scales,
and I have my car on the regularly.

You would be amazed at what little things can make a major difference to the corner weights.
Me sitting in the driver seat and leaning over to the passengers side,
can affect the reading on one corner by over 10KG,
and cornerweighting the car without the driver is a watse of time,
unless you dive it by remote.

Ok, i finally got off my arse and completed the circuit, and coded up some stuff to make it work.

Currently have it displaying the weights via the serial link, but the plan is to get it working with a 16x2 LCD i have lying around at home.
Trying to get some high rating load cells now, which is proving more annoying than i had thought.
