Product Description

In the HX711 module is designed a 24 high-precision A/D converter chip with the internal integration capability of 128 times. The module uses a HX711 chip designed for high-precision electronic scale design for two analog input channels.
The load cell is constructed of a durable aluminum alloy with strain gauges already mounted with strain-relieving wires early in the process. A mechanical force sensor that measures forces between 0 and 5kg (0 to 11
An active low noise PGA that can be configured with gain settings of 32, 64,
An on-chip power supply regulator for load-cells and analog data converters, an on-chip oscillator with an optional external crystal, and a micro-controller with on-chip communication.
A simple digital controller with a serial interface pin-driven controls, no programming required, choose between 10SPS and 80SPS output data rates.

Questions & Answers

As shown on the images, there is soldering required for the load cell wires and header to the hx711 but the Product description states that it is not required. Which one is correct?

I did not need to solder anything on the load cell scale I received. My scale was already assembled, so all I had to do was plug in the wires and connect it to my Arduino. The scale was already assembled, so it was ready to use right away.

What do I need to do to connect it to a ?

If you want to connect to a GPIO, you can do so.

Documentation is included with this product? Do you have to configure the A/D once it's all connected, or does it start sending digital output automatically once it's all attached? What steps should be taken if so. ?

Data is sent as soon as power is applied. In order to use the microcomputer, you'll need one An automated controller to read/calibrate the data and to (The Arduino and esp8266 have mature libraries)

Using it with 3 will result in what I expected. What is 3V?

When it is set to 3, it works perfectly. At least, that's where I utilize it.

It's a good deal
5/5

The app seems to work fairly well and has some accuracy to it. A working HX711 library was finally found for an esp32 after trying three different versions. The calibration needs to be checked, but it is a great buy for the price.

A single purchase was satisfied
5/5

A load cell module I purchased from hx711 arrived on time and the packaging was gorgeous! The product is well connected to Arduino, and the signal from the load cell is accurate. My experience with this seller is outstanding. I am pleased that I am able to get an answer to my problem as soon as I e-mail the seller. The MakerHawk project is very important to me.

My case was made of wood rather than plastic, but it works perfectly
4/5

There's not much you can do about the scale not being plastic, but everything works out of the box for me so it's too good to be true. The disadvantage is that no soldering is required, so I would recommend it for the ease of use.

Using the HX711 in combination with the load cell is great
5/5

I really like this product because of the price and the fact that it works flawlessly right Previously, I wrote a program for SFE's OpenScale and re-wrote it for this one With it, I directly used Success has been achieved immediately. *Edit
I went back for a third time. It's hard to believe how good a deal it is. Each of the three measurements was within a gram of the other two. I find the product to be excellent, and the price is more affordable.
