Add message for Adafruit STEMMA Soil Sensor #64

Closed brentru closed 3 years ago

brentru commented 3 years ago

Add message for Adafruit STEMMA Soil Sensor - I2C Capacitive Moisture Sensor.
Add new SENSOR_TYPE_CAPTOUCH_RAW enum for a raw capacitive touch sensor (sends as int).
- If a capacitive-touch sensor is being polled for a sensor-event, the SensorEvent's raw_captouch field will be set.
- NOTE: This is a unit-less SENSOR_TYPE as it's a raw value.

I'm conflicted on modifying the universal SensorEvent API to support a raw, unitless, measurement from the ADC. Possibly packaging data for the moisture sensor as an analog PinEvent is a better idea?

from mtg - may be possible to remove SENSOR_TYPE_CAPTOUCH_RAW. Replace raw_captouch field with a raw_value field so its not limited to captouch-only, its just a raw adc val.

Changed SENSOR_TYPE_CAPTOUCH_RAW to SENSOR_TYPE_RAW Changed raw_captouch to raw_value

This will allow raw, unit-less, integer values to be sent by sensors that aren't compatible with the universal Sensor API.
