## Overview

The SparkFun Load Cell Amplifier - HX711 breakout board enables ultra-precise weight measurement by amplifying load cell signals. Featuring separated analog and digital power supplies with filtering components, it ensures clean data acquisition. Its simple two-wire interface is compatible with any microcontroller GPIO pins, supported by extensive Arduino libraries, making it ideal for industrial scales, process control, and DIY sensing projects.

## Description

The SparkFun Load Cell Amplifier is a small breakout board for the HX711 IC that allows you to easily read load cells to measure weight. By connecting the amplifier to your microcontroller you will be able to read the changes in the resistance of the load cell, and with some calibration you will be able to get very accurate weight measurements. This can be handy for creating your own industrial scale, process control or simple presence detection. This version of the SparkFun Load Cell Amplifier features a few changes that you specifically asked for! We have separated the analog and digital supply, as well as added a 3.3uH inductor and a 0.1uF filter capacitor for digital supply. The HX711 uses a two-wire interface (Clock and Data) for communication. Any microcontroller's GPIO pins should work, and numerous libraries have been written, making it easy to read data from the HX711.

Review: Purchased this to create a model rocket motor test stand. Used with Arduino UNO, microSD card, and 20kg load cell. Worked well, however, be aware this is not an I2C device. It doesn't make any claim that it is, but if you have any questions consult the HX711 datasheet.
Review: The Sparkfun folks did a great job providing documentation that made connecting the load cell and HX711 amp to my Arduino. The library support is also excellent.

The cheaper ones from China works. I was hoping the Sparkfun one is better and more stable, but it does not even work.
