Hi,

This subject seems like something experimental but has anyone determined how to connect a foil strain guage to an analog channel on a data logger?

Thanks!

You will need a strain-gage amplifier to produce a 0-5 volt signal for most data loggers. Here are a few choices:

If you don't have a spare analog voltage input, here is one that puts the results on the CAN bus:

That is awesome. Thanks! Very helpful.
