Calibrating the HX711 Load Cell

A project log for Hedgehog Feeder

Hedgehogs in the UK are classed as an endangered species. For this reason I have chosen my final year project to be a hedgehog feeder.

Weight Calibration

HX711 Load Cell Amplifier Interface with Arduino

In order to calibrate the load cell, I used the tutorial from:

https://circuits4you.com/2016/11/25/hx711-arduino-load-cell/

Really easy to follow, just copy and paste the code and find your calibration factor! This will be the calibration factor you will use throughout the project.
