[Serial] HX711 weight cell support

[Juan1ll0]

Hi guys,
Is it possible to write a new driver for HX711 weight cells in Gobot?. Can i use some other device driver supported by Gobot as example?. And if it is possible, under which platforms (raspi, firmata...etc)?

Thanks.

Hi @Juan1ll0 , it seems it has a plain serial interface, so it is currently not supported and there is no example driver. As far as I remember there was already an issue to implement a serial interface.

Maybe you can choose another one or try to use a converter, e.g. to i2c.

Thank you very much @gen2thomas I didn't know this kind of sensors. I bought one to test it. I will try to write a driver for Gobot.

Regards.

Hi @Juan1ll0 , maybe the new serial driver is a start point for your implementation now. Do you have any progress?
