Warning: my load cell readings drifted 15% after one season in the Texas sun
Been running a Liebherr LTM 1050 for 3 years and never thought the heat would mess with the load cell calibration until I started seeing 15% higher readings on hot afternoons. Turns out the direct sun on the sensor housing was throwing everything off by the end of July. Anybody else have to rig up shade covers for their load cells in hot climates?

Yeah I had the exact same issue with my load cells last summer. I just taped some aluminum foil over the sensor housing as a quick fix and it actually worked pretty well, knocked the drift down to like 3% on the worst days.

Didn't someone post a video showing copper tape works even better for that?
