Description

This sensor module utilizes the HX711, a dedicated weight scale converter that interfaces directly with a Wheatstone bridge sensor (load cell). It converts the millivolt-level analog signal from the strain gauge into a high-resolution digital output, significantly improving measurement reliability and noise immunity compared to basic ADC solutions.

The module features an on-chip low-noise PGA and power regulator, simplifying system design by providing a stable excitation voltage for the load cell. Its simple serial interface requires only two digital I/O pins for data and clock, making it easy to integrate into Arduino, ESP32, or industrial control projects requiring precise force or weight monitoring.

Key Features

  • Core HX711 24-bit ADC ensures high-resolution measurement for sensitive weight detection.
  • Gravity-standard connector enables quick, foolproof wiring without soldering.
  • Selectable data output rates of 10 SPS or 80 SPS to balance speed and noise performance.
  • Integrated simultaneous 50Hz/60Hz supply rejection minimizes mains interference.
  • Wide operating voltage range (2.6V to 5.5V) supports both 3.3V and 5V logic systems.
  • Compact terminal block provides secure connections for the load cell's 4-wire interface.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for educational, prototyping, and light industrial use.

Applications

  • Precision kitchen scales and portable weighing devices.
  • Industrial process control for material batching and check weighing.
  • Robotics and mechatronics for force feedback and grip strength measurement.
  • Educational projects demonstrating strain gauge and Wheatstone bridge principles.
  • Inventory management systems for counting by weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the wiring connection for the load cell to this HX711 module?

Connect the load cell's 4 wires to the module's terminal block: Red to E+, Black to E- (excitation), and White to S-, Green to S+ (signal). The module then connects to your microcontroller via the 3-pin Gravity interface (VCC, GND, DT) and a separate digital pin for the SCK clock.

Can I use this module with load cells other than the included 1kg sensor?

Yes. The HX711 module is compatible with any standard 4-wire strain gauge load cell (half-bridge or full-bridge). You must ensure the load cell's rated output and excitation voltage are within the module's specifications. Calibration will be required for the new sensor's sensitivity.

How do I select the gain and data rate on this module?

Gain (32, 64, 128) and data rate (10 SPS or 80 SPS) are selected via the serial communication protocol. You send specific pulse sequences on the SCK (clock) pin after the DOUT pin goes low, as detailed in the HX711 datasheet. Most Arduino libraries have functions to set these parameters.

What is the purpose of the Gravity interface on this module?

The Gravity 3-pin interface (VCC, GND, DT) provides a standardized, foolproof connection to DFRobot's ecosystem of shields and sensors. It carries power, ground, and the serial data output (DT), simplifying cable management and reducing wiring errors in prototyping.
