Xh711 tension sensor data pin issue

[kyrpav]

Hi, i am trying to make a simple program to read tension from a load cell using the xh711 24bit adc. chip uses 2 pins. one for scl (esp32 output) and another dout for data (esp32 input).
In order the chip to be powered on scl has to be low and then when the conversion is ready the dout goes from high to low.
After this you have to send pulses to scl in order to shift the data out from the dout pin.

My problem is that when i connect everything dout=18 and scl=19 then the dout is always on for some reason the esp32 it keeps it on so i can not ready anything. If i manually disconnect the pin and reconnect it then it is working and data are shifted out. It is possible that then the pin never goes up.

A second issue is that since the dout is always on then from the isReady() function i get error from the watchdog also but this will be solved if the pin dout works properly.

Sorry the post. issue was really on poweroff. if true statetment keeps everytime the adc in poweroff condition
