Hello,
I was recently playing around with the HX711 load cell amplifier board and easily got it to work, but after some time the thing completely stopped.
I tried with a different load cell, and no calibration or load sensing is possible.
I was able to test the onboard regulator to see if it was damaged or something, and it seemed to be outputting some low <1.5 vdc out which seems ok based on similar schematic I've seen online.
any advice on what other parts or ways I could troubleshoot the unit?
I know the whole thing is under 10$ but I'd like to be able not to throw away electronics if they're not 100% unusable and I'm short on time.
