AVIA HX711 ADC for weight cells
In linux kernel since version 4.2
(release Date: 2015-08-30)
for weigh cells
This driver uses two GPIOs, one acts as the clock and controls the
channel selection and gain, the other one is used for the measurement
data
Currently the raw value is read from the chip and delivered.
To get an actual weight one needs to subtract the
zero offset and multiply by a scale factor.
This should be done in userspace.
This driver can also be built as a module. If so, the module will be
called hx711.
