Featuring separated analog and digital power supplies with added filtering components, it minimizes noise for stable readings. Its simple two-wire interface ensures seamless compatibility with any microcontroller, supported by robust Arduino libraries. Perfect for building industrial scales, process control systems, or presence detection setups, this module empowers makers and professionals to innovate with confidence. ## Description The SparkFun Load Cell Amplifier is a small breakout board for the HX711 IC that allows you to easily read load cells to measure weight. By connecting the amplifier to your microcontroller you will be able to read the changes in the resistance of the load cell, and with some calibration you will be able to get very accurate weight measurements. This can be handy for creating your own industrial scale, process control or simple presence detection. This version of the SparkFun Load Cell Amplifier features a few changes that you specifically asked for! We have separated the analog and digital supply, as well as added a 3.3uH inductor and a 0.1uF filter capacitor for digital supply. The HX711 uses a two-wire interface (Clock and Data) for communication. Any microcontroller's GPIO pins should work, and numerous libraries have been written, making it easy to read data from the HX711. Review: Easy to use with existing Arduino libraries - Purchased this to create a model rocket motor test stand. Used with Arduino UNO, microSD card, and 20kg load cell. Worked well, however, be aware this is not an I2C device. It doesn't make any claim that it is, but if you have any questions consult the HX711 datasheet. Review: Works great! - The Sparkfun folks did a great job providing documentation that made connecting the load cell and HX711 amp to my Arduino. The library support is also excellent. ## Features - Weigh items very accurately - Separated analog and digital supply - Two-wire interface ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B079LVMC6X | | Best Sellers Rank | #13,517 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #38 in Home Audio Amplifiers | | Brand | SparkFun | | Brand Name | SparkFun | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 69 Reviews | | Manufacturer | SparkFun | | Material Type | Circuit Board | | Model | SEN-13879 | | Mounting Type | Through-Hole Mount | | Mounting type | Through-Hole Mount | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Number of channels | 1 | | Package Type Name | Board/Module | | Package type | Board/Module | | Part Number | SEN-13879 | | UPC | 845156007615 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 5 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SparkFun - **Manufacturer:** SparkFun - **Mounting type:** Through-Hole Mount - **Number of channels:** 1 - **Voltage:** 5 Volts ## Images ![Load Cell Amplifier - HX711 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61elnrlU1rL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use with existing Arduino libraries *by B***Y on 20 August 2025* Purchased this to create a model rocket motor test stand. Used with Arduino UNO, microSD card, and 20kg load cell. Worked well, however, be aware this is not an I2C device. It doesn't make any claim that it is, but if you have any questions consult the HX711 datasheet. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great! *by J***. on 1 February 2024* The Sparkfun folks did a great job providing documentation that made connecting the load cell and HX711 amp to my Arduino. The library support is also excellent. ### ⭐ Does not work *by S***N on 2 September 2023* The cheaper ones from China works. I was hoping the Sparkfun one is better and more stable, but it does not even work. ## Frequently Bought Together - SparkFun Load Cell Amplifier - HX711 Small Breakout Board Read Load Cells to Measure Weight Four-Wire Wheatstone Bridge Configuration Connect to sensors Build Scale Process Control Presence Detection - EC Buying HX711 Digital Load Cell Module, Weight Sensor A/D Module with Display 24 Bit Weighing Scale Smart Arduino Load Cell Arduino Display/for Arduino - Portable S-type Beam High-Precision Load Cell Scale Sensor for Hopper Weight High Pressure Tension Weighing(2000kg) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/584675412-load-cell-amplifier-hx711](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/584675412-load-cell-amplifier-hx711) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-07-08*
