Hello. I am having problems combining 2 codes. The first code has to recieve data from 4x 50kg loadcells with the HX711 amplifier module and then activate a waterpump based on the weight value from the loadcells. The second code has to control a linear actuator using an EM288 controlmodule. When using the two codes seperate i dont have any issues but combined it won't send any values to the serial monitor it prints the message "Startup complete".
Kind regards Sigurd
