Displaying modified digital hanging scale data on p10 led panel using arduino
materials:
digital hanging scale custom, load cell amplifier high quality HX711, 2x1 led panel p10 (2 pcs), arduino uno/duemilanov, power supply 5v/10A for led panel p10, adaptor 5v/3A, data cable hub 16 pin, power cable, jumper cable.
instructions:
A. digital hanging scale to HX711 load cell amplifier
- disconnect the cables connecting the scale sensor (green-white-red-black) to the modified scale display board. Then solder the cables to the PCB
- use a mouse cable or a former speaker cable with a length of 1 - 1.2 meter to and connect the 4 cables to the PCB that has been soldered at number 1.
- the weighing case is punched at the top so that the 1 meter long cable can come out
- disconnect the cable connected to the battery on the modified scale display panel board.
- lastly, close the case gently tighten the bolt nut; make sure the position of the component parts remains the same when first opened.
- match the 4 wires coming from the weighing sensor to the load cell amplifier HX711 red - red, black - black, white - white, green - green
- Adjust the 4 pins on the HX711 load cell amplifier with the pins on the Arduino board. VCC - 5v, DAT - A1, CLK - A0, GND - GND
B. Arduino to p10 led panel pin connection (see http://indomaker.com/index.php/2019/01/05/memulai-p10-led-matrix-menggunakan-arduino/)
If you use HX711 green board:
