Hello !

I’m currently working on a project in which i need to watch the evolution of the weigh applied to a sensor using the HX711.

I planned on using a USB to serial cable (FTDI TTL-232R-RPI Cable, Debug, USB to TTL-232 on farnell’s site) to get the data but after reading the HX711’s datasheet i have no idea how the data is retreived and i don’t know what i can use to get tha data on my PC (and then create an interface if needed).

Thanks for your help !

You could use an Arduino and the various libraries. Use “HX711.h” library to easily get the weight. See my wireless hummingbird weigher, https://www.instructables.com/id/Wirele … tal-Scale/

You could use serial over the USB cable to a PC, rather than the standalone LCD display if you want.
