First, you must using 4 load cell 50 kg for balance
please watch this tutorial
first do the calibration
=================================================================
#include "HX711.h" //You must have this library in your arduino library folder ,search in github
#define DOUT 3
#define CLK 2
HX711 scale(DOUT, CLK);
//Change this calibration factor as per your load cell once it is found you many need to vary it in thousands
//float calibration_factor = -96650; //-106600 worked for my 40Kg max scale setup
float calibration_factor = 190;
//=============================================================================================
// SETUP
//=============================================================================================

Serial.println("Press z,x,c,v to decrease calibration factor by 10,100,1000,10000 respectively");
Serial.println("Press t for tare");
scale.set_scale();
scale.tare(); //Reset the scale to 0
long zero_factor = scale.read_average(); //Get a baseline reading
Serial.print("Zero factor: "); //This can be used to remove the need to tare the scale. Useful in permanent scale projects.
Serial.println(zero_factor);
}
//=============================================================================================
// LOOP
//=============================================================================================
void loop() {
scale.set_scale(calibration_factor); //Adjust to this calibration factor
Serial.print("Reading: ");
