Hi to all.

I was wondering if anyone out there has attempted to make an
electronic scale using PIC's. I have a few ideas for the PIC side
of things but 'What to use for a SENSOR??' I was thinking of
strain guages but over here in sunny South Africa, these are either
hard to come by or very costly. I'm considering a LVDT (Linear
Variable Differential Transformer) option but I wan't to keep
mechanics to a minimum. I was wondering if any of you out there have
some idea's that you would like to share on the topic.

Thanks.

P.S. Thanks to Mal Goris, Andrew Errington and Don McKenzie for
their help, my programmer is now up and running!
