I am using the OpenScale SEN-13261 board and would like to increase the raw data output per sample rate. I am getting about 1 to 2 readings per second and would like to increase that to 10 to 20 readings per second. How do I accomplish this any additional information would be helpful.

10Hz is near the max for that device (~10.98); there are a couple of tips in the “Set Report Rate” section [of the guide](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/openscale-applications-and-hookup-guide#configuration)

If your MCU is capable increase the baud rate (there’s a section with notes for that as well), remove unnecessary characters if possible, etc
