Seesaw soil sensor not measuring capacitance; only temperature #39

Closed juliant99 closed 3 years ago

juliant99 commented 3 years ago

I used the seesaw soil sensor example which comes with version 1.4.0 of the soli sensor library and the capacitance logged is the same as the temperature. Ie if the logged temperature is, for example, 25.87*C the capacitance is 25 etc.

Reverting to version 1.3.1 of the seesaw library the capacitance is within the range expected, ie with the sensor in the air it is greater than 300.

The sensor is connected as per https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-stemma-soil-sensor-i2c-capacitive-moisture-sensor/arduino-test

what board are you using to read the sensor? we cannot reproduce this issue :/

juliant99 commented 3 years ago

I'm using the Arduino Uno - R3 .

ladyada commented 3 years ago

ok try 1.4.1 please!

juliant99 commented 3 years ago

Yep, works now - many thanks
