T-Display S3 and HX711-Based Load Cell Measurement System with Audio Alert

This circuit is designed to measure weight using a load cell and process the data with an HX711 bridge sensor interface. The T-Display-S3 microcontroller is connected to the HX711 to receive the weight data and control a buzzer. The load cell interfaces with the HX711, which in turn communicates with the T-Display-S3 for data processing and potential alerting through the buzzer based on specific weight measurements.

Usage Instructions

How to Use the HS-S53-L in a Circuit

  1. Power Supply: Connect the VCC pin to a stable power source within the operating voltage range (2.7V to 5.5V). Connect the GND pin to the circuit ground.
  2. Control Signal: Apply a control signal to the IN pin. A HIGH signal (logic 1) will connect the COM pin to the NO pin, while a LOW signal (logic 0) will connect the COM pin to the NC pin.
  3. Signal Routing: Use the COM pin as the input for the signal to be routed. The output will be available at either the NO or NC pin, depending on the control signal.

Important Considerations

Example: Connecting the HS-S53-L to an Arduino UNO

The HS-S53-L can be easily controlled using an Arduino UNO. Below is an example circuit and code to toggle the switch:

Circuit Connections

Arduino Code

// HS-S53-L Control Example
// This code toggles the HS-S53-L switch every second using Arduino UNO.

const int controlPin = 7; // Pin connected to the IN pin of HS-S53-L

void setup() {
  pinMode(controlPin, OUTPUT); // Set control pin as output
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(controlPin, HIGH); // Set switch to connect COM to NO
  delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second
  digitalWrite(controlPin, LOW);  // Set switch to connect COM to NC
  delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second
}

Best Practices

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Common Issues and Solutions

  1. Switch Not Responding to Control Signal

    • Cause: Incorrect voltage level on the IN pin.
    • Solution: Ensure the control signal voltage matches the operating voltage range (2.7V to 5.5V).
  2. Signal Distortion at Output

    • Cause: Exceeding the maximum switching speed or improper grounding.
    • Solution: Reduce the signal frequency and ensure a solid ground connection.
  3. Excessive Heat During Operation

    • Cause: Overvoltage or excessive current through the switch.
    • Solution: Verify that the input voltage and current are within the specified limits.
  4. Component Damage During Soldering

    • Cause: Excessive heat applied during soldering.
    • Solution: Use a temperature-controlled soldering iron and follow recommended soldering practices for surface-mount devices.
