Customer:
I’m planning to use this load cell in a senior design project and need to know the operating current or power consumption of this device.

Soldered Support:
This load cell sensor is meant to be used with the load cell amplifier HX711 board or the easyC (Qwiic) version.
The regular version’s current consumption is < 1.5mA. The easyC version, as it has an ATtiny404 onboard, adds ~10mA to that.
