For the HX711 (data sheet here) I am confused by what it expects as the input voltages. I think its this bit that is relevant:
"Channel A can be programmed with a gain of 128 or 64, corresponding to a full-scale differential input voltage of ±20mV or ±40mV respectively, when a 5V supply is connected to AVDD analog power supply pin. Channel B has a fixed gain of 32."
Does that mean that if I want a gain of 128 the +ve must be +20mv and the -ve must be -20mv? What If I am using strain gauges in a Wheatstone bridge that will change? I will be using 3V. When they say gain do they mean that my output will be (+ve)-(-ve)*128?
Thank you very much for your help
