HX710 library

Support Product Questions

Looking for an Arduino library for HX710, as installed on Makerverse Load Cell Kit.

Hi JC,

Looks like an official library is available, so nice and simple to add :slight_smile:

Thanks very much! Don’t know how I missed it. (Yes I do - galloping senility!)

Had to use HX711. Annoying.

Since you have switched to HX7111, you can make a PCB like this. Digital Scale PCB - Share Project - PCBWay
This is a Digital Scale PCB. It’s quite easy and compact.

Hey Linden, Welcome to the forums!

If you are having trouble with something specifically feel free to tell us more and we can try and help you out with the troubleshooting!

Is it just me, or am I correct that the link above (to HX710 - Arduino Reference) is broken. I just get a message, “This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it.” If there is a API for this library, please do share. My searches have come up empty.

That reference as well as the search in the library docs is broken - it appears that although the libraries are referenced in the docs the reference is to an inaccessible file. Each of the three options returned by a search in the docs can be installed from the IDE: HX710, HX701AB and hx710b_arduino. For the API implemented by any of these libraries, it appears that the source code is all that exists, although HX710AB does include some detail if you follow the ‘more info’ link from the library manager.

Thanks. I saw the three libraries, tried “more info” for each of them, and noted that there were more details with the HX710AB library (which I am not currently using). I can work with this, but it’s a nuisance that programmers need to scour source code to determine the functions available and how to use them. But, thanks.

… especially considering that there is software that can automatically create a properly documented API reference from the source code, requiring only an appropriate formatting which, in any case, is really useful during the original development.

Hey @Ian299702 ,

Welcome to the forum!

Agreed it’s frustrating, but sometimes the open-source trail requires a machete :grin:

Best of luck with your project.
