SparkFun Load Cell Amplifier - HX711 Small Breakout Board Read Load Cells to Measure Weight Four-Wire Wheatstone Bridge Configuration Connect to sensors Build Scale Process Control Presence Detection
About This Item
Introducing the SparkFun Load Cell Amplifier - HX711 Small Breakout Board: Your Solution for Accurate Weight Measurements! Whether you're a hobbyist or a professional, the SparkFun Load Cell Amplifier is the perfect tool for easily reading load cells to measure weight. With this small breakout board, you can connect the amplifier to your microcontroller and capture changes in the resistance of the load cell. With some calibration, you'll achieve highly accurate weight measurements. This versatile amplifier opens up a world of possibilities.
Use it to build your own industrial scale, implement process control in your projects, or even create a simple presence detection system. The SparkFun Load Cell Amplifier can handle it all. We've listened to your feedback and made some improvements to this version! The analog and digital supply have been separated, ensuring maximum performance. Additionally, we've included a 3.3uH inductor and a 0.1uF filter capacitor for digital supply, further enhancing signal quality. The HX711 IC, used by the amplifier, communicates through a two-wire interface (Clock and Data), making integration with any microcontroller a breeze.
Numerous libraries are available, simplifying the process of retrieving data from the HX711. Check out our hookup guide below for more details. Load cells are connected to the HX711 using a four-wire Wheatstone bridge configuration. The color-coded wires (RED, BLK, WHT, GRN, and YLW) correspond to standard load cell color coding.
Red represents Excitation+ or VCC, black represents Excitation- or GND, white represents Amplifier+, Signal+, or Output+, and green represents A-, S-, or O-. The yellow wire serves as an optional input for grounding and shielding against external electromagnetic interference (EMI). Please note that some load cells may have slight variations in color coding. Invest in the SparkFun Load Cell Amplifier - HX711 Small Breakout Board today and unlock the power of accurate weight measurement.
Whether you're a maker, engineer, or enthusiast, this amplifier is a must-have addition to your toolkit. Order now and take your projects to the next level!.

SparkFun Sensor Blocks Editorial Review
The SparkFun Load Cell Amplifier - HX711 Small Breakout Board has received mixed reviews from customers. While some have found success with this product and appreciate its stability, others have been disappointed with its performance. One customer expressed disappointment, stating that despite the higher cost and the fact that it is made in the USA, the product did not work at all. They mentioned that even when running a sketch with or without the unit connected, the load values remained the same. This customer concluded that there was no reason to spend more on this product when equivalent results could be obtained from cheaper alternatives from overseas. Another customer, who normally supports SparkFun products, also had a negative experience with this load cell amplifier. They initially purchased it because they were using cheap HX711 knockoffs from China that weren't stable. While the SparkFun amplifier proved to be more stable, it unexpectedly stopped working after a few days. The customer speculated that a voltage spike may have caused the failure but noted that none of the other components were affected. Disappointed with the higher price and the unexpected failure, they decided to return to the cheaper alternative. Overall, the customer experience and reception of the SparkFun Load Cell Amplifier - HX711 Small Breakout Board has been mixed. While some have found it to be stable and satisfactory, others have encountered issues such as a lack of functionality and unexpected failures.
