Project Description:
********************
This is a very detailed tutorial on how to use the HX711 breakout board with a Load cell " strain gauge"
to measure weights. The HX711 breakout board will be used with the Arduino. This tutorial
covers everything
the circuit diagram or connections of the HX711 with the load cell and the Arduino Uno / mega.
in this tutorial i will be using Arduino Uno but if you want you can also use the mega. Because any
program which is written for the Arduino Uno can be run on the mega.

Great video! I appreciate that you explained how to solder the Load cell with the HX711 module! :) But I have missed the final accuracy of your system. I am having trouble with accuracy of my system. I am using 20kg Zemnic L6D Load cell with HX711 module and Arduino mega clone and best accuracy of mine was so far about +/- 5 grams :(

[petarlazarov]

thank you for the video, but i would like to visualize the measurements of weight in LabView, can you help me in a way to have it ?

[Veasnn_M.]

Could you tell me how to capture the reaction force from the load cell using Arduino? ( I want to record force, not a weight).

[RainbowPlayzo]

This is a very great video! i have a question, how can i change the numbers from serial monitor to a graph with serial plotter?

[dandrechen]

Can this be adapted to measure dynamic torque as a torque meter wirelessly? If so, how would you go about doing this please? P.S. Any constructive input from anyone is welcome and appreciated.

[اختراعاتوابتكارات-جع]

I want to connect the weight loading unit with the Arduino and when it reaches 1 kg, the LED works on one of the Arduino ports

[sidsingh]

Sir please interface weight sensor with the seven segment display

[LividCoyote]

Can you use 4 strain gauges from a weighing scales to measure small weights(instead or large body weights), using the Hx711?

[florencemuloongo]

I can't find the attached libraries

[VishalKumar-zvor]

How to connect 2 strain gauge load cell to a single Arduino board and further to a LCD display ???
Plz reply!!

[andreandinganaktedong]

Is it possible to program the load cell to trigger servo motor for a certain reading of the weight? It is kinda like a open valve application depending on a certain value of weight.

[SushmaMantaganiYT]

Can I use this 24 bit adc (hx711) to read the voltage of anything?

[srikanth]

Is HX711 can be used for 100kg measure

[shubhamthakur]

Why you didn't done calibration? Can you tell me what are the steps and program needed. I'm using 10kg Load cell with Arduino Uno with Lcd (2*16)display. I'm stuck at coding part. Would love, if you can help me out. Thank you. :)

Hi, I have a little problem:
I use Hx711 and Pro Micro, I try both the 4 wire cell, and also the 3-wire one with 2 resistors.
But after using the test, which is fine, and running the scketch, the cells work fine, for 1 minute,
then they go to "zero" and from there they don't move anymore.
Even with DiView, I see it working, but for 2 minutes, and then they stop.
Do you have solutions? Thanks for the reply.

[FUNANDFACT]

How can we control web tension by load cell.

[sumitnikam]

I want to see the Load cell reading to PC
It's possible to interfere load cell with pc via USB or

[FPChris]

How would I read 0% to 100% values rather than weight?

[prathameshbonte]

no matching function for call to 'HX711::set_scale(int, int)
