HX711 - which lib should I use?
Re: HX711 - which lib should I use?
Which variant of (Micro-)Python do you use? And which HX711 lib?
I'm a little bit puzzled by the constructor
hx711 = HX711(5,6)
Because HX711 expects pin objects top be supplied. But maybe you use a different lib.

Re: HX711 - which lib should I use?
we are trying to run code using RPi 4b
and i'm running in things in thonny.

Which HX711 lib do you use?
Re: HX711 - which lib should I use?
So nothing to do for me.

Re: HX711 - which lib should I use?
Hi there,
we are working on 1kg load cells and HX711 amplifier. I have tried multiple source codes to run on raspberry pi Pico. however unfortunately, the code is working but the thing is printing only zero's as the output.
I tried to change the code but it doesn't work.
I'm attaching the link of the video with our connections and code
https://1drv.ms/v/s!Ah1A9_q5Vo-jhUxWyfL ... B?e=Ue6dmO
here, the code which we used.
https://github.com/robert-hh/hx711
it would be so great if you could help with that.
Thank You.

Re: HX711 - which lib should I use?
The video is almost useless. It is better if you write down, which connection you made. The pins have names & numers. And you can as well paste your code here. No need to show a video. At least, it seems that you connected the HX711 to GPIO 2 and 3 (Pin(2) and Pin(3)). So these numbers should be in our script.

Re: HX711 - which lib should I use?
The pins we used are pin 12 and pin 13
I'm attaching the image of the connections we made.
https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ah1A9_q5Vo-jhU0JsnG ... B?e=ZPWmKL
and here is the code we used.

Re: HX711 - which lib should I use?
According to the picture, you connect to SCK to GPIO19 and DOUT to GPIO18. So the setting must be:
Code: Select all
pin_OUT = Pin(18, Pin.IN, pull=Pin.PULL_DOWN)
pin_SCK = Pin(19, Pin.OUT)

Re: HX711 - which lib should I use?
why this error occuring?/
earlier the pico, everything is working fine but suddenly it is showing the option for saving the files in pico as well.
