Solder shield and connectors on HX711 board.

Solder shield and connectors on HX711 board. This is already done on the developer kits, This step is only necessary if you obtain parts independently.


  1. Place shield over the components making sure all 5 tabs go into the holes.
  2. Turn board over and bend the tab nearest the 4 holes toward the center of the board. Bend this tab all the way over so it will not interfere with installing the connector.

  4. Place a piece of tabe over the tab that was bent over.
