Re: Using PIO to read HX711 Load Cell Amplifier: Need some help tidying up

OK, I've got my project finished. Well sort of. At least I've got it working and doing what I need it to do. And good enough is good enough for me. To explain a bit further: my main hobby is flying radio controlled models. General making, tinkering and microcontrollers are just supporting hobbies. S...

Re: Using PIO to read HX711 Load Cell Amplifier: Need some help tidying up

Those helper functions are really helpfull and exactly what I was looking for.

And I will certainly take a look at, and probably some inspiration from your HX711 driver.

Thank you very much,

Using PIO to read HX711 Load Cell Amplifier: Need some help tidying up

As a first project using the Pico, I want to build a centre of gravity (cog) scale for RC-planes. This works by placing one load cell ahead of the cog (say at the leading edge of the wing) and one behind (at the trailing edge). From the distribution of weight between the 2 load cells, one can calcul...
