+  Example using the SparkFun HX711 breakout board with a scale
+  By: Nathan Seidle
+  SparkFun Electronics
+  Date: November 19th, 2014
+  License: This code is public domain but you buy me a beer if you use this and we meet someday (Beerware 
license).
+
+  This example demonstrates basic scale output. See the calibration sketch to get the calibration_factor for 
your
+  specific load cell setup.
+
+  This example code uses bogde's excellent library: https://github.com/bogde/HX711
+  bogde's library is released under a GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+
+  The HX711 does one thing well: read load cells. The breakout board is compatible with any wheat-stone 
bridge
+  based load cell which should allow a user to measure everything from a few grams to tens of tons.
+  Arduino pin 2 -> HX711 CLK
+  3 -> DAT
+  5V -> VCC
+  GND -> GND
+
+  The HX711 board can be powered from 2.7V to 5V so the Arduino 5V power should be fine.
