Load cell set-up

Help & Support Robot Parts

Hi,

I recently bought a the Gravity HX711 Load Cel / Wheatstone Bridge Interface for use in my final year engineering project.

In the hardware set-up guide it says a DFRobot I/O Expansion Board is also required.

I’m wondering if its possible to use to the included HX711 Weight Sensor Module with an Arduino Uno WITHOUT the expansion board to measure force readings.

I know this can be achieved with a regular HX711 load cell board.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Hi,

Yes the Gravity HX711 Load Cell / Wheatstone Bridge Interface can be used with an Arduino UNO.

]GND from the HX711 Board to the Arduino’s GND./:m]
]VCC from the HX711 Board to the Arduino’s 5V pin./:m]
]DOUT from the HX711 Board to the Arduino’s A1 analog pin./:m]
]SCK from the HX711 Board to the Arduino’s A5 analog pin./:m]Regards,
