Hi! I just got an OpenScale and connected it to my loadcell. But all Im getting is “nan kg”. I have tried to tare and calibrate and it still gives the same output. I rechecked my wiring as well and it seems to be correct. ---

Can you send photos showing how you have it connected to your load cell? Also, what load cell are you using? ---

I used a jumper cable to connect to OpenScale because I didn’t want to cut the wires of the platform scale we have.
