HX711 load cell support

[Lachlan (Lachlan Brewster)]

Has anyone had a go getting a HX711 load cell amplifier integrated with a cube before? The breakout board I am looking at (linked below) uses I2C. If not, any ideas on integrating it? Likely lua scripting?

There are multiple posts mentioning this but no luck.

Unsupported Sensors? Try Arduino + Lua!

[arduino-i2c] Some of you already know my enthusiasm for ArduPilot Lua scripting, and if you’re reading this, you’ll probably pick up on it pretty quickly. When I discovered the I2C, UART, and CAN bindings, the gears started turning, wondering how well we could leverage those comms protocols to expand the ArduPilot peripheral ecosystem without requiring firmware updates and dedicated, baked-in drivers. Today, I uploaded an Arduino library to speed that endeavor along. It allows you to use a…

Lua scripting will do, in the worst case you will need to do a trivial addition to the Lua I2C bindings.

the HX711 isnt i2c, its a custom serial protocol.

Sparkfun NAU7802 based Qwiic Scale board is I2C.
