I want to measure the weight of a container of fluid. I want to just use 2 load cells on the front 2 LEGS (of 4).
Can I just parallel up the 4 wires to sum the weight on the 2 legs and treat as a single load cell? What are the disadvantages of doing that vs taking 2 independent channels & adding them mathematically in the microprocessor?
Being liquid, the load will always be UDL. I'm not worried about inaccuracies due to tilting as the load cells compress; I believe it to be negligible.
Thank you.
