Building a scale using the DCT Electronic HX711 board is as easy as Pi!
The HX711 spec sheet
Order the board from ebay
Download the software
Change the GPIO pins from 30 and 31 to 28 and 30. This way they are all on one side of P5:
P5-5 GPIO30 P5-7 Ground Comes with two sets of headers, straight and right angle. need a female header 1x4 Just need load cells and calibration
