HX711 is not able to read any values

[bejaminho93]

Hi everyone, I recently encountered a problem with my HX711 module from Sparkfun. Initially when I tested the setup a week ago, everything was fine. But one week later (today) I came back to test the setup and suddenly the scale is not able to read any values from the load sensors. I am clueless as to why this is happening. Hope someone here can help me out or advise me on what to check to rectify this problem.

Another problem I faced is that the Arduino does not seem to be recording any of the changes I made to the code. For example, i changed scale.get_units() and scale.get_average() to scale.get_units(5) and scale.get_average(5) respectively but when i upload the code into arduino the changes do not seem to be implemented in serial monitor (it still displays every reading instead of every 5 readings?

I have uploaded photos of my wiring and results

here for everyone to look at. Let me know if I have done something wrong.

Help is very much appreciated!

there is no get_average. scale.get_units(5) makes 5 readings and then outputs the average of those 5 readings. to make sure your code gets built and uploaded correctly, you should change something else as well, like the output to the serial console. if your sketch worked and then stopped working, it's probably a hardware issue, you should check your wiring first.
