I don't see you select channel B.
Did you calibrate?
Leo..
okay, I found out how to select channel B, and tried running a calibration, but the values are still gibberish. They're not at all stable, and float substantially.
I used the following code to try and calibrate. The best I was able to achieve after fiddling was a sort-of stable reading of 0 +/- 0.2, but the sensor did not give expected responses, and the data was very jittery.
#include "HX711.h" //You must have this library in your arduino library folder
#define DOUT 11
#define CLK 10
HX711 scale(DOUT, CLK);
//Change this calibration factor as per your load cell once it is found you many need to vary it in thousands
float calibration_factor = -106600; //-96650; //-106600 worked for my 40Kg max scale setup
//=============================================================================================
// SETUP
//=============================================================================================
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("HX711 Calibration");
Serial.println("Remove all weight from scale");
Serial.println("After readings begin, place known weight on scale");
Serial.println("Press a,s,d,f to increase calibration factor by 10,100,1000,10000 respectively");
Serial.println("Press z,x,c,v to decrease calibration factor by 10,100,1000,10000 respectively");
Serial.println("Press t for tare");
scale.begin(DOUT, CLK, 32);
scale.set_scale();
scale.tare(); //Reset the scale to 0
long zero_factor = scale.read_average(); //Get a baseline reading
Serial.print("Zero factor: "); //This can be used to remove the need to tare the scale. Useful in permanent scale projects.
Serial.println(zero_factor);
}
//=============================================================================================

void loop() {
scale.set_scale(calibration_factor); //Adjust to this calibration factor
Serial.print("Reading: ");
Serial.print(scale.get_units());
//Serial.print(" kg"); //Change this to kg and re-adjust the calibration factor if you follow SI units like a sane person
Serial.print(" calibration_factor: ");
Serial.print(calibration_factor);
Serial.println();
if(Serial.available())

char temp = Serial.read();
if(temp == '+' || temp == 'a')
