How to Connect a Weight Sensor Robu

1. Connect Load Cell Wires to HX711 Module:

   • Red → Excitation+ (E+)

   • Black → Excitation− (E−)

   • White → Signal+ (A+)

   • Green → Signal− (A−)

2. Connect HX711 Module to Microcontroller:

   • VCC → 5V (or 3.3V)

   • GND → Ground

   • DT → Data Pin

   • SCK → Clock Pin

3. Install HX711 Library: Use Arduino IDE or Raspberry Pi libraries to read digital weight values.

4. Calibrate the Sensor: Use known weights to determine the calibration factor for accurate readings.

5. Display or Transmit Data: Use serial monitor, LCD, or IoT dashboards to visualize weight data.
