Load Cell Amplifier HX711 Compatibility with Third Party Load Cells

Sensors Force & Weight

Hi,

I’m a student and I’m brand new to arduino and I’m trying to interface a load cell with an arduino. It seems like the Load cell amplifier is a pretty straightforward way to go, but I’m not sure if my load cell will be compatible with it. Would these two things work together?

Here is the load cell I have: https://www.loadstarsensors.com/reb7-un … 4-bit.html

It has the four wires typically affiliated with sparkfun load cells, but it also has a shield wire.

Here is the sparkfun product that I’m considering getting if it is compatible: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/lo … 1619098976

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Without actually testing it, there’s no way to tell for sure but I think you should be fine. :slight_smile:
