Solid performance
Works as advertised. The only reason for 4 stars is that the included wires are a bit short for larger enclosures, but extending them is easy.

Great for university projects
Bought this for a final year instrumentation project. Documentation online is plentiful, making integration easy. Highly recommend for students.

Reliable 24-bit ADC
The HX711 chip handles noise very well. I used this to build a small postal scale, and it consistently measures within a gram of my reference scale.

Excellent precision
I was surprised by how precise this little module is. Zero drift is minimal after the initial warm-up period. Will buy more for future builds.

Good value but needs patience
The sensor is accurate enough for hobby projects. It took me a while to get the wiring right because the color codes varied slightly from my old sensor, but it works great now.

Perfect for DIY Scales
This kit worked flawlessly with my Arduino project. The calibration was straightforward using the standard library, and the readings are stable once warmed up.
Q: How do I calibrate the sensor for accurate readings?
A: Calibration involves measuring a known weight and adjusting the scale factor in your code. Most libraries have a calibration example where you input the known weight to calculate the ratio.
Q: Does the kit come with a display screen?
A: No, this kit includes only the HX711 amplifier module and the 5kg pressure sensor (load cell). You will need to source your own microcontroller and display separately.
Q: Is a library available for Python on Raspberry Pi?
A: Yes, there are several open-source libraries available for Python, such as 'hx711' or 'gpiozero' extensions, which work well with Raspberry Pi GPIO pins.
Q: Can this module handle a 10kg weight if I use the 5kg sensor?
A: No, you should not exceed the rated capacity of the load cell (5kg in this kit). Overloading can permanently damage the sensor. Please purchase the 10kg or 20kg variant for heavier loads.
Q: What is the power consumption of the HX711 module?
A: The HX711 features an on-chip power-down function. In active mode, it typically consumes less than 1.5mA, and in power-down mode, current drops to below 1uA.
