How to Assemble and Calibrate
Once you have your scale built, you will want to calibrate it. You do this by setting the offset and the scale factor for each ADC channel which are stored in flash memory in the processor. We are providing our in-house PC app to do this. Sorry, it is not available for Apple. However, it will run on a quite inexpensive PC. The PC App and assembly instructions are available in BroodMinders public Dropbox folder found HERE .For BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) communication you must have a Silicon Labs BLE112 dongle.
