Calibration of Loadcell

HOW TO CALCULATE THE REFFERENCE UNIT
To set the reference unit to 1. Put 1kg on your sensor or anything you have and know exactly how much it weights.
In this case, 92 is 1 gram because, with 1 as a reference unit I got numbers near 0 without any weight
and I got numbers around 184000 when I added 2kg. So, according to the rule of thirds:
If 2000 grams is 184000 then 1000 grams is 184000 / 2000 = 92.

After you have calculate your reference then go to Hector9000/conf/HectorConfig.py
and set the

"hx711": {
"ref": 2145 # REFERENCE VALUE
}
