Description

Introduction :- Weight operated mobile robot is design for material supply one station to another station a desired weight in Kg/Grams. 

Architecture:- 

Step 1:- First Arduino uno, load cell and HX711 ADC connection  to each other. Calibrate and interface the weight 190<200<210 grams.
