- Had a short discussion on load cell resolution. We have a 1 Kg load cell with a HX711 ADC which has a resolution of 24 bit. In practice it is very difficult to get more than 14 bit resolution from this (according to Trygve), but 10 bit should not be a problem. 10 bits resoution is 1024 levels, giving a 1 gram resolution which should be fine for measuring drinks, since drinks seldom have ingredient quantities smaller than 1 cl = 10 gram.
