The board seem to ignore the load cells after calibration. It will display 0.00 lbs and will not change when I step on it. No measurements provided.

Hi @mbuyikamba - It sounds like you may have your load cell wired incorrectly to OpenScale. If possible, can you snap a photo of where the wires enter the screw terminals?

Can you post the output you're seeing in the terminal? If you can, please open the settings menu so we can see what settings are being stored.

Also, I have recently posted v1.2 of OpenScale. It will make calibrating your scale easier. If you'd like to try out the new firmware, I recommend downloading this repo and loading it via these instructions.
