where can I find a listing and how to use the different functions that can be called as part of the HX711 library. ie exactly what does this mean? (scale.get_units(5), 1) I can get it all to work but I want to understand it better
thanks steve
Most decent libraries have commented source code and/or good example sketches, full documentation is a rarity.
This is all part of the fun/frustration of Arduino, so open up the source library in a text editor and start learning the language. If that's not your way, then this guide looks good: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/load-cell-amplifier-hx711-breakout-hookup-guide.
