Summary

Provide an Arduino library to get weight by reading data from HX711.

Installation

To use this library, first download the library file, paste it into the \Arduino\libraries directory, then open the examples folder and run the demo in the folder.

Methods

  /*!
   * @fn begin
   * @brief init function

  /*!
   * @fn readWeight
   * @brief Get the weight of the object
   * @param times Take the average several times
   * @return return the read weight value, unit: g
   */
  float readWeight(uint8_t times = 12);

  /*!
   * @fn getCalibration
   * @brief get calibration value 
   * @return return the read calibration value
   */
  float getCalibration();

  /*!
