Easy to integrate
The two-wire interface saves GPIO pins on my ESP32. Data refresh rate switching between 10Hz and 80Hz is a nice feature depending on whether you need speed or stability.

Solid performer
Works as advertised. I noticed slight drift if the power supply wasn't regulated well, but that's expected with high-gain sensors. Once powered by a stable 3.3V, it's rock solid.

Good value, small footprint
Compact size fits easily into tight enclosures. Signal noise is low when properly grounded. Only giving 4 stars because the pin headers were not included, had to solder my own.

Great for learning
Bought this for a university sensor fusion project. Documentation online is plentiful, and this specific board matches all the tutorials. Highly recommended for beginners.

Reliable and Accurate
We used ten of these for a student robotics competition. Every single one worked out of the box. The precision is impressive for the price point.

Perfect for DIY Scales
This module works flawlessly with my Arduino project. The 24-bit resolution provides very stable readings for my kitchen scale build. Setup was straightforward using the standard library.
Q: Can I connect two load cells to this single module?
A: The HX711 has two input channels (A and B). Channel A supports gain settings suitable for full bridge load cells, while Channel B has a fixed gain often used for half-bridge applications. You can technically connect different sensors to each, but for a single scale using four-wire load cells, they are usually wired together into one channel.
Q: How do I switch between 10Hz and 80Hz sampling rates?
A: The sampling rate is selected by the state of the PD_SCK pin when the chip wakes up from power-down. Pulling the pin low selects 10Hz (Channel A), while pulling it high selects 80Hz. Most libraries handle this automatically via configuration functions.
Q: Can this module drive a 5kg load cell directly?
A: Yes, the HX711 is designed to interface directly with standard strain gauge load cells ranging from a few grams up to several kilograms, provided the load cell impedance matches the module's requirements (typically 350 ohm or 1k ohm).
Q: Does this come with the load cell included?
A: No, this listing is for the HX711 amplifier module only. You will need to purchase a compatible load cell separately based on your weight measurement requirements.
Q: Is a 3.3V logic level compatible with this board?
A: Absolutely. The operating voltage range is 2.6V to 5.5V, so it works perfectly with both 3.3V and 5V microcontroller systems without needing a logic level shifter.
