scale.get_max about hx711

[bogde]

if i understand your requirements correctly, you just need to store and print the max value in your code. something like this:

...
value = 0;
temp = scale.get_value();
if (temp > value)
{
    value = temp;
    ...
    lcd.print(value);
}
...

Your understanding is correct. I've tried if and for statements and even while loops. I integrated your suggestion into my code but the value returned is not in units and varies from reset to reset with no change once weight/force is applied to the load cell. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

you can use get_units instead of get_value. the max value you're storing in value won't survive a reset unless you save it somewhere in the eeprom (see https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/EEPROM).
