How to Use - Weighing Load Cell Sensor 5kg YZC-131 With Wires

• Secure one end of the load cell using an M4 screw through the designated screw hole. Ensure the other end remains in a floating state to accurately measure gravitational force.
• The four lead wires from the load cell need to be connected to the HX711 A/D Pressure Sensor for signal amplification. Ensure the connection is strong to avoid interference in readings.
• Integrate the HX711 with an Arduino board using appropriate libraries to read the analog output generated by the sensor, which can then be converted to digital for further processing.
• Calibrate your weighing system to ensure accurate readings. Calibration involves adjusting the device to account for the weight of the load cell and ensure proper weight measurement.
• Install the load cell in the appropriate position within your device. This may involve mounting the sensor onto a base and ensuring it is securely fastened.
• Test the sensor by placing known weights and verifying the readings against standard values to ensure accuracy. Make adjustments as necessary to fine-tune the calibration and ensure precise measurements.
