@blub, I just came across your post. Are you still using the HX711 with the Boron? If so, are you getting nice stable readings? I’m getting very noisy data from my setup, but not with Electrons in a near identical setup. I’ve been struggling for months to get to the bottom of this but no luck so far (see my post here)
I power my HX711 from the 3.3v pin which should be able to handle the current without a problem. Ripple might still be an issue so I’ve added a 20uF tantalum and a 1000uF catalytic across the VCC and GND pins of the HX711. Unfortunately, this has not solved the issue for me. I’m keen to learn of your experience?
