Arduino UNO High Precision Counting Scale

Everyone needs a good scale in kitchen, what better than to build a high precision scale with the UNO?

Story

This is one of my very first Arduino projects. This is a high precision scale based on the HX711 module, with different operating modes.

It can measure weight in the normal mode:

Measuring weight

Count coins that are placed on top, one by one:

There's also a mode where you can place a coin and the program will calculate its weight. You can then place as many coins as you want, either one by one or all together, and the scale calculates the amount of money and how many coins were placed on top.

The same works for any other item and this mode is called "items mass."

Here is a video tutorial how to build one. It is in Russian, but I hope you will still enjoy it!

The main software is divided into two parts, weighing and counting function.
During the boot animation I entered a subroutine for the scale calibration function. The calibration data is stored in the Euprom of Arduino for subsequent uses.
