Introduction

CircuitPython driver for the HX711 load cell amplifer and ADC

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

• Adafruit CircuitPython

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle or individual libraries can be installed using circup.

Installing to a Connected CircuitPython Device with Circup

Make sure that you have circup installed in your Python environment. Install it with the following command if necessary:

pip3 install circup

With circup installed and your CircuitPython device connected use the following command to install:

circup install hx711

Or the following command to update an existing version:

circup update

Usage Example

import board
from hx711.hx711_gpio import HX711_GPIO
from digitalio import DigitalInOut

gpio_data = DigitalInOut(board.D5)
gpio_clk = DigitalInOut(board.D6)

hx = HX711_GPIO(gpio_data, gpio_clk)
