Weight Sensor Kit 1KG - Load Cell Amplifier HX711

The 1KG Load Cell Weight Sensor Kit is designed for high-precision weight measurements. It includes a 1kg load cell and an HX711 ADC amplifier module. The load cell is a transducer that converts pressure or force into an electrical signal, while the HX711 amplifier accurately reads and amplifies the signal using a 24-bit ADC. Ideal for kitchen scales, luggage weighing devices, and various embedded or industrial applications.

Example Code - Calibration:


#include "HX711.h"

#define LOADCELL_DOUT_PIN 3
#define LOADCELL_SCK_PIN 2

HX711 scale;
float calibration_factor = -7050;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println("HX711 calibration sketch");
  Serial.println("Remove all weight from scale");
  Serial.println("After readings begin, place known weight on scale");
  Serial.println("Press + or a to increase calibration factor");
  Serial.println("Press - or z to decrease calibration factor");

  scale.begin(LOADCELL_DOUT_PIN, LOADCELL_SCK_PIN);
  scale.set_scale();
  scale.tare();

  long zero_factor = scale.read_average();
  Serial.print("Zero factor: ");
  Serial.println(zero_factor);
}

void loop() {
  scale.set_scale(calibration_factor);
  Serial.print("Reading: ");
  Serial.print(scale.get_units(), 1);
  Serial.print(" lbs");
  Serial.print(" calibration_factor: ");
  Serial.println(calibration_factor);

  if(Serial.available()) {
    char temp = Serial.read();
    if(temp == '+' || temp == 'a')
      calibration_factor += 10;
    else if(temp == '-' || temp == 'z')
      calibration_factor -= 10;
  }
}
