Hello All,
My system hardware: Win11 PC, SF MicroMod data logging carrier (DEV-16829), MicroMod Artemis Processor, (DEV-16401), Qwiic Scale (SEN-15242), Rice Lake Weighing Systems 'S' style load cell (RL20000B-250)'

Software: Win 11, Arduino IDE, SparkFun Qwiic Scale NAU7802 Arduino Library@1.0.

startup code: SparkFun labored with love to create this code. Feel like supporting open
source? Buy a board from SparkFun!
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15242

Hardware Connections:
Plug a Qwiic cable into the Qwiic Scale and a RedBoard Qwiic
If you don't have a platform with a Qwiic connection use the SparkFun Qwiic Breadboard Jumper (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14425)
Open the serial monitor at 9600 baud to see the output

#include <Wire.h>
#include <EEPROM.h> //Needed to record user settings

#include "SparkFun_Qwiic_Scale_NAU7802_Arduino_Library.h" // Click here to get the library: http://librarymanager/All#SparkFun_NAU8702

NAU7802 myScale; //Create instance of the NAU7802 class

//EEPROM locations to store 4-byte variables
#define LOCATION_CALIBRATION_FACTOR 0 //Float, requires 4 bytes of EEPROM
#define LOCATION_ZERO_OFFSET 10 //Must be more than 4 away from previous spot. Long, requires 4 bytes of EEPROM

bool settingsDetected = false; //Used to prompt user to calibrate their scale

//Create an array to take average of weights. This helps smooth out jitter.
#define AVG_SIZE 4
float avgWeights[AVG_SIZE];
byte avgWeightSpot = 0;

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("Qwiic Scale Example");

Error message from Arduino Serial Monitor:
"Port monitor error: command 'open' failed: Invalid serial port. Could not connect to COM3 serial port."

Additional Info: The Device Manager on my PC showed just two serial ports, COM1 and COM3. I tried several different baud rates on each port and always get the same error message.

Thanks for looking, Mick

Hello TS-Russell, Thank-you for the response. Things are getting strange. When I loaded the ch340 driver I got a message "no device found" I had searched the DEV-16829 MicroMod Data Logging Carrier board for a 'CH340' IC and did not find one, so I assumed the driver was handled in another manner. Then I tried to install the driver on the 'SparkFun Artemis MicroMod board and got the message 'NO BOARDS FOUND FOR "SPARKFUN ARTEMIS MICROMOD". The board I has selected was 'SparkFun Qwiic Scale and that is shown as installed on the Arduino IDE. Is this DEV-16829 a new board?
Thanks, Mick, 80yo retired EE
