That probably means you’re using the wrong HX711 library.

I changed the directory, but, now I get this error: Error compiling for board Node32s.
Hello everyone,
Some news about my project:
Just to share my new version of my PCB with a GPS NEO6 and an accelerometer. The accelerometer will wake up my esp32 if my hive is moved. I need to check what is the sleeping current of the MPU6050 during my ESP32 sleeping time.

Salut Christophe, may I ask you which company you used for the PCB and could you share any details about it. I am working on another type of project and could learn from your experience.
Not sure who @christophebl uses, but I’ve been using JLCPCB and their design EasyEDA software and it’s very easy to use and the JLC service is great.
If you use EasyEDA then my advice would be not to start with a circuit diagram, instead do a PCB layout and give the same names to any nodes/tracks that need to connect together. So, for example, every object that connects to GND would be named GND. The software checks will then show any nodes with the same name that aren’t connected.
Pete.

Salut Didiercoyman,
You are french guy? I’m using JLCPCD and the design I used is Kicad. Of course I can share all details.
You can find some information here:
Let’s me know if you need more :).

Hi guys,
@christophebl I got a problem with your Code for the Beehive connected and the connection to Blynk.
Blynk.config(auth,blynk_server,blynk_port); // Initialise the Blynk connection settings
Arduino always says:
‘blynk_server’ was not declared in this scope
Can you help me with the Problem?
These two lines need to be un-commented (you need to remove the // characters at the beginning)…
//const char blynk_server [] = “blynk-cloud.com”; // new variable to hold the name of the Blynk server //const int blynk_port = 8080; // new variable to hold the port used by the Blynk server
Pete.
Thanks Pete that helped a lot.
The next Problem after the Connection Problem wit Blynk is:
I uploadet the Sketch to my ESP32 and take a look to the serial Monitor. There it was showing constantly:
Rebooting…

and i don’t know what that means 
i would appreciate your help
Do you have anything connected to your ESP32 other than the USB cable?
Pete.
Yes all the Parts as in Post #10 are connected to the ESP32
Try disconnecting them and see if you get the same error.
Pete.
Thanks Pete.
It worked with disconnecting all Parts.
It was a little contact between the wires what caused the Problem.

#christophebl, please help me to make a hive scale like you did. The hives are far away from my house and i need to know the weight, temperature and humidity. These should be send to me via gsm with a card sim. I want to make the scale only for one hive, which make me a cloe about the situation.
I am novice in this domain, so I need the all information and the name of each pieces, like you showed in the scheme above.
Thank you!
I send you a message;)
Salut Christophe, I am also interested to connect my beehives through Lora (200m from my home). Are all libraries used identified? It is frequently a mess with Arduino sw.
Thank you for job done, I wish you a merry Christmas
Salut Alain,
you speak French? yes I have the list of used libraries. For Lora I’m using LMIC and it’s working perfectly.
If I can help you no problem for me 
I wish you also a merry Christmas
christophe
Bonjour Chrstophe,
Yes I am French, I live close to Lyon. I have 4 beehives, 15°C today. Bees are harvesting pollen 22nd of December !
I have an issue with HX711 library, like “Spanker” and “podesz”.
Could you please precize which is the correct library to use? And also, in which directory to place it? If it is necessary to?
Thank you for your support
Alain

Awesome project this and just what I want so I’m about to embark on it. I have a little Arduino knowledge and no ESP knowledge but Ill dive in the deep end and give it a go.
I plan to use almost exactly the same hardware as you @christophebl . Had started with an Arduino uno but will go for an ESP32 WROOM unless there is something better. Ill have 2 waterproof DS18B20 temp sensors, DHT22 for humidity, 50kg load cells with HX711, as well as a light sensor, decibel meter and maybe a angle sensor. Hell why not go full on.
The hive is about 5m from the house so will go for wifi and Blynk on my phone for monitoring and alerts and something on my computer for monitoring.
As a beginner ill probably struggle but keen to learn. Im a hardware guy and can put it all together but coding as all new and at the moment just cutting a pasting stuff so running into a few problems.
All the best and thanks in advance to all for your help.
Hi,
I used an ESP32 because the deep sleep is better and longer time to set compare to an arduino.
If you need some help I can help you. I want also used the sound but it’s more complecate ;).
bye
