A MQTT client to read out the result of HX711 and send it to a MQTT Broker.
This is a (somewhat) fork of newAM/LoadCellOccupany. Be sure to check his repository out!
This is the exact Hardware I'm using. It cost around 5-10€ on AliExpress.
- ESP8266 - WeMos D1 mini Pro
- ADC - HX711
- Load Cell - Search for "50kg load cell hx711" on AliExpress. It'll have a HX711 included.
- 3D printed case for the load cell.
