    For the short press, with the original code, I noticed that an easy way to get it every time is to press until the display changes, then release. Anyhow, worked for me.

      @AWI I'm unable to find the "local ADC lib". Is it available somewhere?

        @mfalkvidd the 'local adc' library is the hx711 library which I placed in the sketch folder. Sorry for the confusion

          @AWI where can I download it? It does not seem to be compatible with the hx711 library I found through the Arduino IDE Library Manager :(

          EDIT: Seems to work with https://github.com/bogde/HX711 (if installing it manually)

            I am confused the 1k resistors seem to be wired differently in AWI photo's and Nca78 photo's.
            I would like to build this but not certain how it is wired now

                Are the blue and green resistors you have drawn on the back of the adc module the 1k resistors?
                Have you soldered them on the other side?

                    @Nca78 , my HX711 board looks like yours. I'm a bit confused on how to connect the J1 pins to the load / power. Can you share how did you connected it? Thx!

                    Soldering is a bit messy and not helping much to understand, so I did a (gorgeous) drawing. I think I'll frame that in my living room :D

                    @nca78 Exactly the same pin of the IC can be connected to the next pin (VCC) to change the refresh rate.

                      I had some spare time and all parts so decided to assemble ampere meter.
                      Firstly, the sketch has to be changed. The lib Button.h does not exist (it has been renamed). It has to be changed to JC_Button.h. This has to be added to setup {}:

                      myBtn.begin();
                      

                      in order for the button to work.

                      My question is this - reading are jumping like a yo-yo despite having a separate power supply (power bank). After calibration, reading maybe +30% or -30% off needless to say that its drifting dynamically. So constant current of 120uA is read +90 or +150 jumping up and down. Is this the way this meter is supposed to work?

                        Can you make a schematic of this circuit please?
                        I need this project.

                          Hello, is there, somewhere, a real complete diagram of this project? This subject is interesting but not clearly documented ... It's a shame! Thank you.

                                          @rvendrame sure, I'll do it tomorrow morning as I cannot do it right now. In case I forget, don't hesitate to ring me ;)

                                          Hi to all,

                                          These two resistors are 1K ? (betwen E+ and A+) and (E- and B+) ?
                                          Need I use Diodes to ground ?
