Load Cell Kitchen Scale

Using a 1kg load cell, HX711 amplifier chip, and an ATmega328P I created the following battery-operated kitchen scale. While some DIY projects help save money, this is not one of them. Cheap kitchen scales can be found for approximately $15 (CAD) and the individual parts for this project total about $50 (CAD). Nonetheless for those tinkerers who enjoy making stuff for the sake of making it the following video tutorial may be useful along with the wiring diagram and programs, down below.
