Module Specification
Load Cell
Weighs things: plug in any 4-wire load cell and read grams
Description
A 24-bit load-cell amplifier (HX711) on a single-port module. Plug a standard 4-wire strain-gauge load cell into the header on top, tare it and read weight in grams from your firmware. Works with bar load cells from a few hundred grams to 200 kg, so it covers kitchen scales, a weighing dog bowl, a shelf that knows when stock runs low, or a bed that notices when you get up.
