Hello;
this code module is for using HX711 load cell amplifier board with Arduino, I used it with UNO and MEGA without any problems, only 4 pins are required for voltage supply and communication (+5V, GND, CLK and DT). the code is very easy to use (thanks @rwblinn for help) code module includes most of original C++ library functions.
call this procedure to initialize scale:
this function does weight calculations:
to get weight:

call this procedure to initialize scale:
B4X:
private Sub InitializeScale()
HX711.Begin(3,2,128)
HX711.Raed ' read raw data from the ADC
HX711.setscale(300) ' this value is obtained by calibrating the scale with known weights
Delay(100)
HX711.tare()
End Subthis function does weight calculations:
B4X:
private Sub GetWeight(RawUnits As Long, UnitMeasure As String) As String
Dim weight As Double
Dim Tmps As String
Select UnitofMeasure
Case "G" 'grams
weight = RawUnits
Tmps = NumberFormat(weight,1,0)
Case "K" 'kilo grams
weight = RawUnits /1000
Tmps = NumberFormat(weight,1,3)
Case "O" 'oz
weight = RawUnits * 0.0352739619
Tmps = NumberFormat(weight,1,3)
Case "P" 'pounds
weight = RawUnits * 0.0352739619 * 0.0625
Tmps = NumberFormat(weight,1,3)
End Select
Return Tmps
End Subto get weight:
B4X:
Dim weight As String = GetWeight(HX711.GetUnits(2)) 'number of samples to read
Log(weight)Connecting load cell to HX711 board and Arduino
