How the HX711 Weighing Sensor Module Works
The HX711 Weighing Sensor Module works by reading the very small voltage changes generated by a load cell when force or weight is applied. Load cells typically use a Wheatstone bridge configuration made of strain gauges. When weight is applied, the resistance of the strain gauges changes slightly, producing a small differential voltage.
This weak signal is amplified by the built-in programmable gain amplifier inside the HX711 Weighing Sensor Module. The amplified signal is then converted into a 24-bit digital value, which is transmitted to a microcontroller through a simple two-wire interface. After calibration, the system converts the digital output into accurate weight readings such as grams or kilograms.
