The Wheatstone bridge is a way of measuring resistance with great accuracy and despite having been invented over 150 years ago, it still finds plenty of use today. Even searching for it on Hackaday ...

The use of two active strain-gauge elements in a half-bridge configuration enhances bending-strain measurement sensitivity.

In Part 1 of this series, we discussed the Wheatstone bridge topology, excitation and calibration methodologies, and basic signal-conditioning techniques using building blocks such as difference ...

Sometimes the simplest hacks can be the most useful or ingenious, and such is the case with [Keri Szafir]’s method of ensuring that potentiometers used in audio devices are matched. If you consider a ...

A strain gauge is used to measure the strain on an object. It is a very thin, flat coil of conductive wire. (Editor's note: strain “gauge” is often spelled as “gage”; why this is so, and which is ...
