Weighing Scale Caibration of Arduino
Weighing Scale Caibration of Arduino

// HX711_ADC.h
// Arduino master library for HX711 24-Bit Analog-to-Digital Converter for Weigh
Scales
// Olav Kallhovd sept2017
// Tested with : HX711 asian module on channel A and YZC-133 3kg load cell
// Tested with MCU : Arduino Nano

modules
