Verify my wiring (HX711 with four strain gauges) #246

I'm trying to verify all my wiring is correct. Disconnected from the HX711, I'm getting

E- to A+ is 2kΩ E- to A- is 4kΩ E- to E+ is 6kΩ

Does that sound right?

Connected to the HX711, I'm getting a constant 8388607 regardless of weight applied to the platform.

(Side note: The "F" & "M" designations on the schematic are female & male Dupont connectors which join the various strain gauges together. My way of making it easier to have multiple test points and re-wire as necessary though, obviously, also potential failure points as well.)

Yes, that is exactly how I have it set up and it works fine.

Thanks, @TheGermanUSA - wondering what is wrong with my setup then.
