Note: Try to complete tasks 4.1.2, 4.3.1, 4.4.1, 4.4.2, 4.5, and 4.6.1 before coming to the WorkINGLab so that you have more time for the experimental part.
...
4.1.1 Use a multimeter to measure the resistivity change when loading the beam with the the caliper box (which acts as a defined weight) from the drawers assigned to your seat. (for this task a measurement is necessary)
...
4.2.1 Measure the voltage with the multimeter across the strain gauge for both the unloaded and loaded beam. What is the difference in voltage between loaded and unloaded beam? Hint: you can even measure at the screws of the luster terminal as they are in contact with the clamped wires (fig. 6).

4.3.2 Insert your value for zeroMVinput and your value for mV/digit into the Arduino code. You will need to provide those values in Vips later. 💾 (Please insert your code where the comments mention it and then uncomment those parts!)
