other scales than fx-i

[BeardedCobra48]

FX-i is really expensive.
THerefore would be awsm to adjust for cheaper scales with slower measuring times! :D

I think a good choice is the G&G PLC100BC. 100g/0,001g with Windshield (don't need it with the Trickler) and an RS232 Port

[ToniMaroni68]

That's a good idea. I think the G&G and also the Kern Scales are the most used Scales ?

Hello,

I have a Mettler Toledo, is it possible to add it as a scale? The communication is almost the same as the A&D.
I can adapt/modify the 3d printed parts, no problem but unfortunately im not great in changing the software...

Mettler toledo uses the MT-SICS Link

Thanks!

With kind regards,

Hi @RowanNL Thanks for your recommendation.
May I ask do you have the scale on hand? It would be best if you have the output data from the scale to help with software development.

Hello @eamars,

Yes, I have a MS303S. It’s like the FZ-120 I, also with internal calibration only a higher draft shield. It’s 1mg scale with a max of 320g. The link I added in the previous mail is the document of Mettler Toledo communication protocol and commands.

@eamars ,

Do you need some more info or can I help with something?

Kind regards,

[eamars]

@RowanNL I think I can start with someting. However due to time constraint my priority is to update OpenTrickler 2.0 documentation to prepare for the release. After that I should be able to give you some prototype for the new driver.
