Weight_Sensor_Module_V1 - jimaobian/DFRobotWiki GitHub Wiki
weight sensor module is based on hx711,which is a precision 24-bit analog-to-digital convertor designed for weigh scale and industrial control applications to interface directly with a bridge sensor.compared with other chips, hx711 not only has a few basic function,also contains high integration,fast response,immunity,and other features.the chip lowedrs the cost of the electronic scale,at the same time,improving the performance and reliability.
The input interface of this weight sensor module is used sensor interface,which is compatible with Arduino I/O port.The output adopts compact terminal that makes weight sensor module easier to connect the weight sensor.It's the best choose for electronic enthusiast to do some tiny home scale.
The weight sensor module can be combined with weight sensor on the market. We also help you to pick a small range of weight sensor.
Note:The framework will be made by yourself according to the weight sensor machine drawing.The following figure show the weight sensor machine drawing. 
The figure can be combined with the following connection diagram.
NOTE: Some batch will have an opposite arrow, if you find the data is very large and not correct, just put arrow up.
Note: If you found beating amplitude data changing largely，you should check whether the connection is firm.Or weight sensor wasn't placed flat.
Please download the libraries for the sensor first!

#include <Hx711.h>
Hx711 scale(A2, A3);
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
Serial.print(scale.getGram(), 1);
Serial.println(" g");
delay(200);
}Thus, far ,the weight scale will be finished within one more step-- zero adjustment.
Open the Hx711 library folder , and find the file Hx711.h, open it. Locate the statement
void setScale(float scale = 1992.f);
You only need to adjust the number 1992 to find the appropriate value for weight scale. Save the h file, and upload the above code again.
- How to calibrate the weight sensor
Answer: For calibrate the sensor for fixing the feedback floating from different sensor, need to set the Scale using the function named "setScale". Default status: void setScale(float scale = 1992.f)
