Hello everyone,

   

I'm designing system conditioning for a strain gauge transducer, I want a gain of about 200. the transducer power (Excitation voltage) I use from the PSoC itself of about 5 volt the output of the strainguage is connected to an Op-amp using different power options.

   

The problem is that when I use voltage from the VR for instance everything is alright but when I connect the output terminal of the transducer the voltage across them change and the output become fixed no matter I change the strain of the transducer.

   

Please assist.

Hi,

   

You will need differential measurement. Please refer to this article.
