Analog/Digital VDD #7

I originally posted this to tech support, but they suggested I post here too.

If you guys respin this breakout board could you separate analog and digital supplies. The hx711 has separate digital and analog supplies but your board ties them together so its a pain to use with 3.3v micro and 5v strain gauge. If you bring the digital supply to the header people can externally tie them together if they want 5v digital.

The digital pins have to be the same voltage as the DVDD pin so running on 5v wasn't ideal, level shifting it possible but not ideal, running the whole thing on 3.3v kind of works but with less voltage on the strain gauge its a lot more susceptible to errors.

Ultimately I cut the track to pin 16 (DVDD) to isolate digital supply pin and soldered a wire to it for 3.3v - works like a charm but its messy.
