This library is for the hx711 modul to read weight load.
It is build for esp-idf framework and written in C++!
Goal of this project is to provide an easy to use library for the hx711 modul written in C++!
The main featers are:
- Easy to use
- Reading value from hx711 modul in background task
- Create average value from `x` samples to get more accurate results
- Remove highest and lowest value to get more accurate results
The library contains a `idf_compent.yml` file. So you can install it with the esp-idf packagemanager to be aviable in your project.
To integerate it to your project create a file named `idf_compent.yml` and put following lines in it.
```
dependencies:
idf: ">=4.4"
hx711:
git: https://github.com/avjui/hx711.git
```
:file_folder: The file was also aviable in the [example folder main dirctory](./example/main/).
After this installation is complete and you can build your project with th hx711 library.
To use this library in platformio you can add `lib_deps` to your configuration file `platformio.ini`
```
lib_deps =
git+https://github.com/avjui/hx711
```
:warning: Because platformio not regiester the `Kconfig` by him self you have to add `Kconfig` with editing `CMakeLists.txt`, or add the config variables to `platfomrio.ini`.
- First option is to add following lines to `CMakeLists.txt` in the root directory.
```
get_filename_component(configName "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}" NAME)
list(APPEND kconfigs "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/.pio/libdeps/${configName}/hx711/Kconfig")
```
- An other option is to add the config to `platformio.ini`.
```

....
build_flags =
${hx711.build_flags}
Add notes about how to use the system.
```
#include
```
After the we declare it
```
HX711 load();
```
Then we can tare the weight scale
```
load.tare()
```
Then we can start the background task and read the value
```
load.startTask();
for(;;)
{
ESP_LOGI("MAIN", "Weight : %.2f g", load.getLoad());
vTaskDelay(2000/portTICK_PERIOD_MS);
}
```
You can find an example in the [example folder](./example)
For more information you can have a look at the [documentation](https://avjui.github.io/hx711/).
- add function to set scale factor
