Example 2: Weight Measurement with Calibration using Raspberry PiThis example demonstrates how to use the 50kg Load Cell with HX711 Weight Sensor to measure weight with calibration using a Raspberry Pi board.Hardware RequirementsRaspberry Pi Board (e.g., Raspberry Pi 4)
50kg Load Cell with HX711 Weight Sensor
Jumper wiresSoftware RequirementsPython 3.x
RPi.GPIO libraryCode
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time# HX711 pin connections
DOUT_PIN = 17
SCK_PIN = 23# calibration values
CALIBRATION_FACTOR = 100.0
ZERO_POINT = 0.0GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(DOUT_PIN, GPIO.IN)
GPIO.setup(SCK_PIN, GPIO.OUT)def read_weight():
# read 24-bit data from HX711
data = 0
for _ in range(24):
GPIO.output(SCK_PIN, 0)
data <<= 1
data |= GPIO.input(DOUT_PIN)
GPIO.output(SCK_PIN, 1)# convert data to weight
weight = (data - ZERO_POINT) / CALIBRATION_FACTOR
return weightwhile True:
weight = read_weight()
print(f"Weight: {weight:.2f} kg")
time.sleep(1)
```
Note: In this example, you need to adjust the `CALIBRATION_FACTOR` and `ZERO_POINT` values based on your specific load cell and application.
