Abstract:
A system includes modules forming an array. Each module is coupled to a neighboring module and includes flexures. Each flexure is configured to measure a load value of the module. A module board is connected to the flexures, configured to receive the load value and combine into a load module output. The load module output is within an initial module output range. A resistor is configured to set the initial module output range, which is the same for each module in the array. A microcontroller is configured to receive an input for the initial module output range, which is a difference between an output for a full-load state and a zero-load state, and configured to receive the load module output of each module, convert the load module output into a bit number, scale the bit number to generate an adjusted bit number. This represents a weight applied to the array.

Claim (Index 15):
A method comprising:\n providing a module of a plurality of modules forming an array, each module of the plurality of modules being coupled to a neighboring module of the plurality of modules, the module comprising:\n one or more flexures, each flexure configured to measure a load value; and \n a module board connected to the one or more flexures; \n receiving, by the module board, the load value from each flexure; combining, by the module board, the load value from each flexure into a load module output, the load module output being within an initial module output range, the initial module output range being a difference between an output for a full-load state and an output for a zero-load state; receiving, by a microcontroller, the load module output of each module; converting, by the microcontroller, the load module output into a bit number; scaling, by the microcontroller, the bit number into a scaled bit number; generating, by the microcontroller from the scaled bit number, an adjusted bit number, the adjusted bit number representing a weight of the load applied to the array; and transmitting, by a radio, the adjusted bit number to a backend.
