By connecting the amplifier to your microcontroller you will be able to read the changes in the resistance of the load cell, and with some calibration you’ll be able to get very accurate weight measurements. This can be handy for creating your own industrial scale, process control or simple presence detection. This version of the SmartElex Load Cell Amplifier features a few changes that you specifically asked for! We have separated the analog and digital supply, as well as added a 3.3uH inductor and a 0.1uF filter capacitor for digital supply. Need even more? Checkout the SparkFun Qwiic Scale. It has all the features of the HX711 but with additional library support, a true I2C interface, and no soldering required! The HX711 uses a two-wire interface (Clock and Data) for communication. Any microcontroller’s GPIO pins should work, and numerous libraries have been written, making it easy to read data from the HX711. Load cells use a four-wire Wheatstone bridge configuration to connect to the HX711. These are commonly colored RED, BLK, WHT, GRN and YLW. Each color corresponds to the conventional color coding of load cells:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Red (Excitation+ or VCC)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Black (Excitation- or GND)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e White (Amplifier-, Signal- or Output-)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Green (A+, S+ or O+)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Yellow (Shield)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe YLW pin acts as an optional input that is not hooked up to the strain gauge but is utilized to ground and shield against outside EMI (electromagnetic interference). Please keep in mind that some load cells might have slight variations in color coding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOperation Voltage: 2.7V--5V\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOperation Current: \u0026lt; 1.5mA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelectable 10SPS or 80SPS output data rate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimultaneous 50 and 60Hz supply rejection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePackage Includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 x SmartElex Load Cell Amplifier - HX711[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecification:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModel: Load Cell Amplifier\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModel No: HX711\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVoltage Rating (V): 2.7 to 5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAC Current(A) : \u0026amp;lt; 1.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePCB Size ( L x W ) mm 30.48 x 22.86\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eData Transfer Rate 10SPS or 80SPS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipping Weight 0.003 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipping Dimensions 5 × 5 × 2 cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jaideep Robotics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46751646318765,"sku":"R101046","price":121.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/7638\/9293\/files\/download_56.jpg?v=1783240226"}],"url":"https:\/\/jaideeprobotics.com\/collections\/smartelex-flexforce-sensors.oembed","provider":"Jaideep Robotics ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
