4x 4 wire load cell to arduino

Projects General Guidance

Hi,

I’m wanting to connect 4 4 wire load cells to an arduino. I am aware of using the HX711 24-bit ADC but as I have 4 cells will I need to use a multiplexer? If some one could help draw it out for me I wouldn’t be very grateful! Let me know if anyone could help and could even transfer some cash for help with this project. Thanks again

If you want to know the load on each individual loadcell then you will need 4 HX711s

Check if the following idea (Fig-1) works!

I want to know the total weight on all 4 don’t need to know individual. Thanks!

The total weight on all four will equal the sum of the individual weights.
Why don't you explain what you are trying to do and provide a data sheet for the load cells you are using.
