HX711 for Raspbery Py

---

Quick code credited to underdoeg's Gist HX711.py. I've only made a few modifications on the way the captured bits are processed and to support Two's Complement, which it didn't.

Instructions

Check example.py to see how it works.

Installation

1. Clone or download and unpack this repository
2. In the repository directory, run

python setup.py install

Using a 2-channel HX711 module

Channel A has selectable gain of 128 or 64. Using set_gain(128) or set_gain(64) selects channel A with the specified gain.

Using set_gain(32) selects channel B at the fixed gain of 32. The tare_B(), get_value_B() and get_weight_B() functions do this for you.
