Displays the data on the weighing results in a web browser in real time and saves it to a MySQL database
materials:
digital body scale custom, esp8266, HX711 load cell amplifier, psu 5v/3A, jumper cable.
Instructions:
- open the back case with a screwdriver
- disconnect the pin header male connecting the display and battery pcb with the loadcell cable pcb
- use the pcb piece as a place to connect the 4 wires (red-black-green-blue) coming from the loadcell pcb scales.
- solder the jumper cables from the pcb pieces to 4 wires (red-black-green-blue) the weighing loadcell pcb.
- use a mouse cable or speaker cable containing 4 wires and solder it to the jumper cable pcb piece.
- 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 esp8266 board:
VCC -- 5v,
DAT -- D5,
CLK -- D6,
GND -- GND
