I wish to create a simplified kitchen scale to assist children learn about weights. For example,
1 if an item is under 10 grams, an amber light will be lit
2 if an item is over 12 grams, a red light will be lit
3 if an item is >=10 and <=12 grams, a green light will be lit.
Are there parts that I can assemble to modify an existing scale? Or can I create such a scale using a combination of circuit boards and weight sensors? Actual weight ranges may vary.

You have to create a weight scale by Arduino, load sensors, HX7111 amplifiers and LEDs.

I had this idea for a smart coffee scale which i never pursued.
At the time I was looking at this product.
Maybe it will suit you?

Hi K,
The product Pix linked is super common and there are lots of libraries and guides (probably something similar to your project)
Core also stocks this expansion, Makerverse Load Cell Kit | Core Electronics Australia
If you combine that with Glowbit hardware it should be a breeze

lia262073, Pixmusix, Liam120347 - Thank you for the tips and leads. It has been decades since I held a soldering iron or a breadboard but I am looking forward to getting my little project off the ground. Apologies for not being able to mention each of you together in a single reply.
