In my last update, I had just about given up because adding to the Apitronics Bee code seemed too difficult in the time I had remaining. I actually "gave up" repeatedly, but being an engineer, I just kept thinking about the problem, and I was lucky to be able to take today off work (with a wife who let me lock myself in the basement!) and I got the system working!

It's a messy prototype, but that's fine, and I've got a wonderful (although unscaled) graph of data from a load cell below! The peak on the left is where I pressed on the scale to get a higher reading!

Scaling should be relatively straightforward and I'll finish that tonight. Then I'll spend the rest of the weekend documenting the prototype for the hackaday.io prize competition. It's down to the wire, and I've got a lot of work to do, but with the prototype running, I don't have to fight with how to write up build instructions for an incomplete project!
