Hello. Got a quick question. I'm working on implementing a digital bathroom scale so that I can read weight on the Debug screen of a BS2 Stamp Boe-Bot. Can someone direct me to how I would go about implementing an A/D converter chip and an amplifying chip to get a reading? It is much appreciated.

    It would help if we knew what parts we are being asked to discuss. Links to the datasheets would be helpful.

    There are examples of ADC use in the StampWorks manual and in some of the Nuts and Volts Columns. Also check out the Basic Analog and Digital tutorial. Start with the Resources tab on the main Parallax webpage. You'll see links to the Nuts and Volts Columns index and to Stamps in Class Downloads where you'll find the various tutorials.

    You may not need an amplifier. If you do, start with the Wikipedia article on Op Amps and browse the links for examples. There are also examples in various manufacturer's datasheets and application notes.
