So I recently got a load cell and an HX711 to attach to my Raspberry Pi Zero. I followed along with the hookup guide on this website but a few of the things I was not clear on.

1. Which pins should the DAT and CLK go to on my Raspberry Pi I was thinking that it would go to the SCL and SDA pin respectively. So is that correct or is there a different pin that I should put it on.

2. Do I just solder the wires from the load cell directly onto the HX711. Or is there some way to make them into a jumper wire that will connect to some more header pins?

3. Also does the HX711 support I2C?

Thanks
