Load Cell API
Load-cell (weighing-transducer) maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The output endpoint computes the bridge output voltage a strain-gauge load cell produces under a given load, Vout = (load/capacity)·sensitivity·excitation, where the full-scale output FSO = sensitivity(mV/V)·excitation(V) is reached at the rated capacity — it returns the output in millivolts, the equivalent mV/V at that load and the capacity utilization, and flags overload. The load endpoint inverts this to recover the applied load from a measured bridge output, load = (Vout/FSO)·capacity. The array endpoint sizes a multi-cell weighing platform: from the number of identical cells, the per-cell capacity and the live and dead (tare) load it returns the evenly distributed per-cell load, its output and utilization and the total system capacity, so cells can be chosen to stay under capacity in the worst case. Sensitivity is in mV/V, excitation in volts (default 10), output in millivolts; load and capacity share any consistent unit. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for industrial-weighing, scale, force-measurement, silo and process-control app developers, load-cell sizing and calibration tools, and instrumentation education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is load-cell transducer output; for the underlying Wheatstone-bridge and strain maths use a Wheatstone-bridge API.
