Load Cell Amplifier- HX711

A small module that is needed to correctly read load cells.
The HX711 chip amplifies the signal so that the variations of the load cell can be digitally processed on the Arduino.

Specifications:

• Voltage range: 5V DC*
• Nominal power consumption: 1.6mA
• Power consumption in sleep mode: <1uA
• 24-bit accuracy
• Possibility for two load cells
• Dimensions: 35mm x 21mm x 3mm
• Male pin headers included (10 pins)

* The module can be modified to work with 3.3V. Check this link for more information: Modifying the HX711 Breakout Board for 3.3V operation
