How to connect the HX711 Load Cell Amplifier Module to an Arduino UNO or ESP32, with an example sketch you can upload straight away.
This example connects an HX711 24-bit ADC module to the Arduino Uno to read weight data from a load cell. On startup, the module tares (zeros) the scale and continuously prints weight measurements to the Serial Monitor.

This project interfaces an HX711 24-bit load cell amplifier with the ESP32. On startup, the sketch tares the scale and then continuously outputs raw load cell readings to the Serial Monitor at 115200 baud. Powering the HX711 from 3.3V ensures signal levels are directly compatible with ESP32 GPIOs.

The module uses the HX711 as a controller, a 24-bit S/D converter chip specifically designed for digital scales. This module is used with one or two weight sensors, which provide a variable resistance depending on the weight.
With the HX711 Load Cell amplifier, you can easily read weight sensors to determine the weight. Since the differential signal from a weight sensor is very small, you cannot connect it directly to an Arduino, so you need to use this amplifier.
The HX711 module is equipped with a 24-bit ADC, allowing it to detect the smallest differences in weight. With the help of calibration weights, you could make a very accurate scale.
