Description
-----------
This library allows to drive a HX711 load cess amplifier with a Raspberry Pi. It just provides the capabilities:
* to set channel an gain and
* to read raw values
**This package requires RPi.GPIO to be installed in Python 3.**
Getting started
---------------
Just install by ```pip3 install HX711```. A basic usage example is given below:
```python
#!/usr/bin/python3
from hx711 import HX711
try:
hx711 = HX711(
dout_pin=5,
pd_sck_pin=6,
channel='A',
gain=64
)
hx711.reset() # Before we start, reset the HX711 (not obligate)
measures = hx711.get_raw_data(num_measures=3)
finally:
GPIO.cleanup() # always do a GPIO cleanup in your scripts!
print("\n".join(measures))
```

I used https://github.com/gandalf15/HX711/ as base.
This package was created with Cookiecutter_ and the `audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage`_ project template.
