digital weight scale |

hello. I want to design an electronic blood donor scale.
I'm having problem in searching full circuit diagram for digital weighing circuit in which can convert weight (g/kg) to volume (ml).
And if possible, is there any coding for PIC microcontroller that convert weight to volume? tQ. |

Er.
Provided you have the specific gravity of what you are weighing, it is a simple multiplication/division. Otherwise it is impossible.
With blood, it'll vary with some medical conditions, but is typically 1.0621.
1062.1kg/m^3

Which quantity (mass or volume), do you actually want?
What signals/data do you have available from existing hardware?

Other questions like what resolution, granularity and accuracy do you need?
Those issues come to mind too. |

another Q. How the weighing is done.
Commercial units(some/most/all?) actually compute the volume of blood collected then shut off the flow(google 'electronic blood donor scale'). |
