Nope
That's the documentation of the readout unit that came with the scales.

Hi everyone, after quite long time stuck with the HX711 readings I made some progress,
The problem before that when the load cell is connected as usual to the HX 711 it gave only 0 in readings whatever the there is a load on the cell or not.
Now I changed the order of the wires from the load cell to the HX711, and all of the sudden it started giving a sort of reading proportional to the applied force.
the original order was Red, Black, White, Green,
the modified order is Red, Green, Black, White,
So, my question now do I need to try all the other Color Combinations so, maybe I find a new combination with more accurate readings, or using other combinations may damage the resistors inside my Load Cell.
Here is the photo of the HX711 with the modified connections.
Hi, @drmina2023
From this;
| red - black | 0.294 |
|---|---|
| red - white | 0.291 |
| red - green | 0.356 |
| black-red | 0.289 |
| black-green | 0.289 |
| black-white | 0.405 |
| green-black | 0.289 |
| green-red | 0.352 |
| green-white | 0.289 |
| white-black | 0.402 |
| white-red | 0.289 |
| white-green | 0.289 |
Instead of red- black being the E+ and E-
and green - white being A+ and A-
Your load cell is.
red - green E+ and E-
black - white A+ and A-
OR
red - green A+ and A-
black - white E+ and E -
Your load cell is not colour coded to the usual standard.
So you arrangement in post #25 would make sense.
This would be the usual standard.

So what do you think is better to use
red - green E+ and E-
black - white A+ and A-
Connections
or use the other way around
red - green A+ and A-
black - white E+ and E -
which one would be accurate ?

Doing so won't ruin the the internal resistors?
when compiling my sketch I get the following message
Sketch uses 14822 bytes (48%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30720 bytes.
Global variables use 1545 bytes (75%) of dynamic memory, leaving 503 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.
Low memory available, stability problems may occur.
is this a series problem?
