Modular weight scale system

A method comprising:

• providing a module of a plurality of modules forming an array, each module of the plurality of modules being coupled to a neighboring module of the plurality of modules, the module comprising:
• one or more flexures, each flexure configured to measure a load value;
• a module board connected to the one or more flexures;
• and
• a resistor connected to the module board;
• receiving, by a microcontroller, an input for an initial module output range being a difference between an output for a full-load state and an output for a zero-load state;
• setting, by the resistor, the initial module output range for each module in the array, the initial module output range being the same for each module in the array;
• receiving, by the module board, the load value from each flexure;
• combining, by the module board, the load value from each flexure into a load module output, the load module output being within the initial module output range;
• receiving, by the microcontroller, the load module output of each module;
• converting, by the microcontroller, the load module output into a bit number;
• scaling, by the microcontroller, the bit number into a scaled bit number;
• generating, by the microcontroller from the scaled bit number, an adjusted bit number, the adjusted bit number representing a weight of the load applied to the array;
• and
• transmitting, by a radio, the adjusted bit number to a backend.
