On QT Py - OverflowError: No long integer support

[jordansissel]

Following the docs for hx711, I found that it will not operate on a QT Py SAMD21. I have not investigated beyond looking for, and finding, a workaround.

Installing works:

% circup install adafruit_hx711

Found device at /Volumes/CIRCUITPY, running CircuitPython 9.2.1.
Searching for dependencies for: ['adafruit_hx711']
Ready to install: ['adafruit_hx711']

Installed 'adafruit_hx711'.

Attempting to use the library does not:

Adafruit CircuitPython 9.2.1 on 2024-11-20; Adafruit QT Py M0 with samd21e18

>>> from adafruit_hx711.hx711 import HX711
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OverflowError: No long integer support

After some research, I found an alternate module which seems to work, but I figured it's still worth reporting the issue :)
