How to connect load cell (with HX711 and arduino) to simulink

Hello,

I am trying to use Load cell with HX711 to read the weight on Simulink through arduino. I tried to search a lot, but did't get anything. Please let me know How can I link load cell with HX711 to simulink to measure weights. Any help will be greatly appreciable.

Please note I am using arduino.

Hi Aakash,

This sensor is currently not supported by Simulink support package for Arduino hardware.

But you can add custom Simulink block for any sensor by following this simple guide:

Thanks,

Can u please be more specific. I looked into the link provided by you. But got confused. Please.

There are two workflows in the link that I shared:

1. Create a Digital Write Block: This will help you understand the concept of creating a custom driver block for your application
2. Create Custom Device Driver Block for Arduino Library: This will walk you through the process of adding a block that uses 3rd party libraries.

Thanks,

Arun
