Hi Colin! It was me on Facebook. From your points it looks like this isn't your first contact with E2E. The differential 16 bit sigma delta ADC of the MSP430F2013 is very well suited for this application. You can source the bridge by the 1.2V reference voltage of the MSP. The buffered reference can deliver 1mA, so the bridge resistance has to be 1k2+, measured from IN+ to IN-, not to any output. Otherwise you would need to add an external buffer to stay within spec. The MSP430F2013 also includes a programmable gain amplifier. You should measure the differential voltage of the bridge under no and under full load when sourced from 1.2V to have an idea of it's behaviour. How do you want to make your data visible to a user?
