Wiring & usage notes
Connect power and ground, then read the sensor output with an analog-capable input or external ADC. Stable power and a clean ground help reduce noise. Load cells need a proper amplifier such as an HX711 and solid mechanical mounting. Small twists or uneven force can change the reading.
