摘要: A system for remotely indicating the level of grain being loaded into a trailer. Plural vertically oriented sensing strips are affixed to trailer's hopper(s) sidewall at spaced locations. Signals from transducer elements on delivered an electronics module forward wall. The includes multiplexer sampling state strip transducers and wireless transmitter relaying data receiver microprocessor in cab towing vehicle. presents visual display height reached by hopper as loading continues. Following calibration where pixel count load displayed measured net weight determined using scale, factor corresponding weight-per-pixel is stored use computing volume subsequent loads.
