Is this possible and what requirements there are for the scale?</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 08 Dec 2014 10:38:11 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/4727/how-can-i-connect-nrf51822-to-a-weighting-scale" /><item><title>RE: How Can I connect nRF51822 to a weighting scale?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/16725?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 08 Dec 2014 10:38:11 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:6e0d3188-56d1-4ad4-be26-1ea4eea6e989</guid><dc:creator>Stian R&amp;#248;ed Hafskjold</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I guess the only requirements for the scale are that you must be able to read out the data from somewhere, and that the voltage levels are high enough. I doubt that regular weighing scales come with any low level communication interface like SPI or TWI, but maybe you are able to decode the 7 segment display information?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How Can I connect nRF51822 to a weighting scale?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/16726?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 08 Dec 2014 08:44:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:f36f7cf4-5305-46bf-8e8b-005a90cbde27</guid><dc:creator>Asbj&amp;#248;rn</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;This is of course possible. There&amp;#39;s even an official Bluetooth SIG approved profile for weight scale data. The requirement would be for you to be able to read the output from the scale with a digital interface from the sensor on the scale. &lt;a href="https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/Products/Bluetooth-Smart-Bluetooth-low-energy/nRF51822"&gt;Please have a look at the chip nRF51822 as it would be a good fit for this kind of project.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
