Hi,

I am looking for a low cost weight sensor. I am trying to provide a
indication of the amount of paper available. The empty container is
approx. 1kg, and approx. 10kg full of paper. It should be able to
handle industrial temperature range. A resolution of 1kg would be
acceptable. If I can get 100g resolution, it would be great.
I would prefer SPI or I2C interface, but analog out would be
acceptable - something that can directly interface with a MCU.

Get a normal mechanical weighing machine, with the big dial, and
pointer and put a 10K put on the shaft of the needle. ADC, Done!
