Hi Mattias,
It would be great if you could you do this. I think the maximum thrust is
2000N, but better than Richard confirm it.

If you want to go even cheaper, load cells can be scavenged from cheap digital
kitchen/bathroom scales. It’s not too difficult to hook them up to a computer.
I can probably help with the electronics, but not so much with the mechanical
part.
What would be the maximum force to be measured?

Instruments would be a gauge and load cell, right? but this must be commercial.
some sets is "cheap". with relative to a support, I think we would have
problems. that would be cheap.

maybe we can also use the pressure gauge and load cell minisshot rocket.

To design/build the instruments to measure motor thrust and chamber pressure.
We would have to do this on a "tight" budget.

I already am building one for another sugar project, was going to suggest it
for SS2S if it works.

that would be great, why not try.?
