An OpenSource cheap bathroom scale that connects to Android using Bluetooth and saves/log the weight value, making visualization graph.

An Open Source bathroom scale with wireless Bluetooth communications to Android Smart Phones and other devices.

I hacked a cheap bathroom scale (20€) and added to it Bluetooth communications so I can track my weight on my Android Smart Phone.

All were done quick and with cheap price on mind. Total cost in materials were only about $75.

Material:

  • ARM LPC2103 microcontroller board: $15.6
  • Bluetooth serial module: $6.6
  • 16x2 LCD: $15
  • batteries and support: $5
  • various, like wires, etc: $12.5 TOTAL: ~$75.
