| Electronic board based on the HX711 chip, a 24-bit analog-to-digital converter, specifically designed to interface the load cell to a microcontroller such as Arduino, Fishino or compatible. The input multiplexer selects either Channel A or B differential input to the low-noise programmable gain amplifier (PGA). Dimensions (mm): 33.6x20.5x3. Warning! Arduino, Fishino and the load cell are not included (see related products). |
