In this study, we present the design and implementation of a standalone portable device capable of accurately reading signals from strain gauges. The device addresses the need for a compact, easy-to-use, and versatile solution for collecting strain data in real-world scenarios. The core components of this device consist of a microcontroller, an Analog-to- Digital Converter (ADC), and a rechargeable battery. The microcontroller serves as the central processing unit, responsible for data acquisition and transmission. The ADC plays a crucial role in converting the analog output from the strain gauges into digital data that can be processed and stored. The device's portability is enhanced by a compact and lightweight design, making it suitable for field applications where traditional laboratory setups are impractical. To validate the performance of the device, a series of experiments has been conducted. The results demonstrated the device's ability to accurately capture strain data with high precision and repeatability, making it a valuable tool for engineers, researchers, and practitioners in various fields. Overall, our portable strain gauge reader offers a cost-effective and efficient solution for real-time strain measurement, opening up opportunities for on-site data collection, monitoring, and analysis in diverse applications such as structural and material testing. This device's versatility and ease of use make it a valuable addition to the toolkit of professionals and researchers in fields requiring precise strain measurement.
