Hi all
I'm new to these forums and picaxe/microcontrollers in general and I was hoping to get some help integrating with a hx711 load cell amplifiers.
I've started my programming journey with an ambitious project of automating a keg fridge. I currently have temp control, differential temp equalising fan and a led display working. However, the "cool" part of this project is a weight sensor that sits under the keg to tell me how much beer is left in it. This is what I cant get working
I purchased a digital scale kit from eBay that included 4 load cells and a hx711. After some googling on how to interface with this unit, I was directed to this forum where there are several code examples on how to do this. Being a beginner programmer I have followed the code examples and tried to understand what I can along the way. My code seems to work in simulation yet when I connect the HX711 to the picaxe and run it the low medium and high stored values all go high no matter what weight is on the cells
Ive tried several different varients of code and have been pulling my hair out for weeks trying to get it to work.
If someone would be able to run there eyes over my code and tell me what I'm doing wrong it would be greatly apreciated
Thanks in advance
