Out of tree HX711 sensor driver module for Zephyr RTOS

HX711 is a precision 24-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) designed for weigh scale applications.

Supported Zephyr versions

  • 3.2.0 (September 2022)
  • 2.7.0 LTS2 Release (October 2021)

Usage

Module installation

Add this project to your west.yml manifest:

- name: HX711
  path: modules/HX711
  revision: refs/tags/zephyr-v3.2.0
  url: https://github.com/nobodyguy/HX711_zephyr_driver

So your projects should look something like this:

manifest:
  projects:
    - name: zephyr
      url: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr
      revision: refs/tags/zephyr-v3.2.0
      import: true
    - name: HX711
      path: modules/HX711
      revision: refs/tags/zephyr-v3.2.0
      url: https://github.com/nobodyguy/HX711_zephyr_driver

This will import the driver and allow you to use it in your code.

Additionally make sure that you run west update when you've added this entry to your west.yml.

Driver configuration

Enable sensor driver subsystem and HX711 driver by adding these entries to your prj.conf:

CONFIG_SENSOR=y
CONFIG_HX711=y

Define HX711 in your board .overlay like this example:

/{
	hx711 {
		compatible = "avia,hx711";
		status = "okay";
		label = "HX711";
		dout-gpios = <&gpio0 26 (GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH | GPIO_PULL_UP) >;
		sck-gpios = <&gpio0 27 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
		rate-gpios = <&gpio0 2 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
	};
};

		set_rate(HX711_RATE_10HZ);
		measure();

		k_msleep(1000);
		LOG_INF("= Setting sampling rate to 80Hz.");
		set_rate(HX711_RATE_80HZ);
		measure();
	}
}
