HX711
Description
This library allows you to communicate with the HX711 load cell amplifier with a Raspberry Pi. You can:
- set channel gain
- read raw values
This package requires RPi.GPIO to be installed in Python 3.
Getting started
Just install by pip3 install HX711. A basic usage example is given below:
#!/usr/bin/python3
from hx711 import HX711
try:
hx711 = HX711(
dout_pin=17,
pd_sck_pin=21,
channel='A',
gain=64
)
hx711.reset() # Before we start, reset the HX711 (optional)
measures = hx711.get_raw_data(times=3)
finally:
GPIO.cleanup() # always do a GPIO cleanup in your scripts!
print("\n".join(measures))License
