The extension for it on Github: [https://github.com/daferdur/pxt-myHX711](https://github.com/daferdur/pxt-myHX711)  
We have not tried this but thank you for asking about it. I do not see any videos using MakeCode with this weight sensor but I will buy it and do a video to explain how and if it works with the Microbit.  
This is the closest that I can find to what is pictured in the extension: [https://www.banggood.com/HX711-5KG-Digital-Load-Cell-Weight-Pressure-Sensor-Portable-Electronic-Scale-Module-With-Shell-p-1353511.html?utm\_source=bingshopping&utm\_medium=cpc\_organic&gmcCountry=US&utm\_content=minha&utm\_campaign=minha-us-pc&currency=USD&cur\_warehouse=CN&createTmp=1&utm\_source=bing\_pa&utm\_medium=cpc\_bgcs&](https://www.banggood.com/HX711-5KG-Digital-Load-Cell-Weight-Pressure-Sensor-Portable-Electronic-Scale-Module-With-Shell-p-1353511.html?utm_source=bingshopping&utm_medium=cpc_organic&gmcCountry=US&utm_content=minha&utm_campaign=minha-us-pc&currency=USD&cur_warehouse=CN&createTmp=1&utm_source=bing_pa&utm_medium=cpc_bgcs&)
