My meter is made from the common Chinese 200g (10mg resolution) handheld
scale. I dismantled the load cell, saw the body so that I have just the
electronics/display/buttons used. No extra electronics was needed, but
all those parts are from the scale. Built holder for a torque arm and
the load cell of aluminum profile, piano wire and brass tubing. The arm
is 10mm long as I read my scale on g*cm scale. Could have done oz*in too
by just locating the load cell further away from the torque shaft.
One extra benefit for a digital scale, not yet mentioned, is that "one
size fits all". With analog meters I needed to have separate meters for
F1D, F1M and larger models, but the digital one has sufficient scale AND
resolution to cover all classes, great and small.
