hx711 +load cell+arduino using LIFA

[RAQH]

This guy made it work with LYNX. Just to let you know.

It worked for me with Arduino Leonardo.

Hope it works for someone else too.

Hello again,

Finally I "created" a library to be able to add a load cell using HX711. It is based on Nathan_B LIFA Ultrasonic Distance LV9 showed in this post:

https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Interface-for-Arduino/LIFA-Ultrasonic-Distance-Sensor/ta-p/3514004

And was done under the suggestions of Daikataro. Thanks a lot.

For sure that can be enhanced. So far I am not a professional, but still it is working fine. 

Any suggestion, tip or modification would be very welcome. Indeed, I would be very glad if someone with more experience and professionalism have a look and give at least a brief guideline on how could I do it better.

@did you place SCK @ A1 & DT @ A0?

Thank you very much for the help.

 Hi RAQH,

Sorry for my late reply.

Pin SCK of the HX711 -> Pin 5 on the Arudino board.

Pin DTof the HX711 -> Pin 6 on the Arduino board.

Normally the scripts for Arduino Leonardo include a while loop like this in the setup:

  while (!Serial) {
    ; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port only
  }

You could try and add it to the main LIFA_Base script. Remember that to use this custom function, you need to upload the LIFA_Base script you can find on the library.

I am managing to get a LV Home version and hope to get it at home soon. When that happen, I will post and update of the library a bit easier to use.
