Load Cell Amplifier- HX711

A small module that is needed to correctly read load cells.
The HX711 chip amplifies the signal so that the variations of the load cell can be digitally processed on the Arduino.

Specifications:

Voltage range: 5V DC*
Nominal power consumption: 1.6mA
Power consumption in sleep mode: <1uA
24 ...-bit accuracy
Possibility for two load cells
Dimensions: 35mm x 21mm x 3mm
Male pin headers included (10 pins)
* The module can be modified to work with 3.3V. Check this link for more information: Modifying the HX711 Breakout Board for 3.3V operation
