A Load Cell + HX711 board
combination is commonly used in Arduino projects for measuring weight or force.
The load cell is a sensor that deforms under load, and the HX711 is an
amplifier and analog-to-digital converter (ADC) designed specifically for load
cells.
Description
A Load Cell + HX711 board
combination is widely used in Arduino projects for measuring weight or force.
The load cell is a sensor that deforms under load, causing a change in its
electrical resistance, which is then converted into a readable signal by the
HX711 module. The HX711 is a precision 24-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC)
designed specifically to interface with load cells, ensuring accurate weight
measurements with minimal noise.
