Arduino Hx711 Weight Scale Interface 1 0 Software

How to get more accurate reading out of load cells with HX711. A hx711 amp, lcd display, and a few buttons for basic interface now already. But after calibration the weight seems to drift around 1.2Grams over. HX711 scale(HX711_DT_PIN, HX711_CLK_PIN); // parameter 'gain' is. Make Your Weighing Scale Hack Using Arduino and Hx711: I am working on an. 1024 readings compared to HX711 which is 24 bit ADC and easy to interface. 1); // print the average of 5 readings from the ADC minus tare weight (not set). See the README for details scale.tare(); // reset the scale to 0 Serial.println('After.

Need to weigh anything? A Bearded Dragon perhaps? The latest member of our family, a bearded dragon named DaVinci had a stomach bug which was really messing with his appetite, etc.

We needed a scale with a resolution in the grams/oz. Range but with a big enough base to hold him in his entirety so we could make sure he was on the rebound to health with his diet. Gotta eat those BUGS BUDDY BOY! Arduino and HX711 Load Cell weight scale to the rescue.

Read on to build one for your reptile family members, or for whatever you need to weigh. DaVinci's Weigh-In 1. Parts Needed: Any reference to merchants and particular parts is just that, reference. Caveat Emptor. • 5kg Load Cell and HX711 Combo Pack Kit - • NOTE for the kit above: One side both holes tapped M4 thread, the other side both holes tapped M5 thread. • Arduino UNO - • Precision Steel Scale Calibration Weight Kit - • For Parts: 4 wheel 2 layer Robot Smart Car Chassis Kit (I used the acrylic bases and standoffs from a previous project I had built, so parts were already present for me) • LCD 1602 w/I2C Serial Backpack - • Jumpers, USB Cable 2.

Serial number 15665 is marked Ortgies & Co., whereas serial number 16110 is marked Deutsche Werke. After publication Maus was also made aware of serial number 15921 with Hamburg Ordnungspolizei markings and an Ortgies & Co. Slide inscription. Deutsche werke ortgies serial numbers.

Software Needed: Assumptions: • Knowledge of Arduino IDE. • Knowledge on installing and utilizing Arduino libraries. • Knowledge of obtaining libraries from GITHub. Libraries: • Obtain and install the HX711 library from Git: • Obtain and install the LiquidCrystal_I2C library from Git: Final Arduino Sketch: • See attached. YouTube Resource I Used: • Ralph Bacon's Videos and Downloads I used for this project.

3: Hardware Setup. This is where YOU need to get creative based on what you have on hand for building the scale frame.

Whether it's like mine or if you just want to use some Popsicle sticks and 2X4's. It's your call. Regardless of how you assemble it, just pay close attention to connection locations and jumper cable lengths you'll be using. Power Up and TEST your connections once, or twice, before you put it all together. IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure all solder joints are completely and solidly soldered on the HX711. It is very sensitive to external EMF. One of my connections was off just a little and the numbers went haywire!

I would wave my hand 3 foot above the rig and it would stop dead in it's tracks.
