Enhancement: SHT1x support #155

Closed PeteLawler closed 7 years ago

PeteLawler commented 7 years ago

Doug Rohm has a Raspberry Pi SHT1x library and I'm looking at porting it. If someone beats me to it, I'm not going to complain :)

So far, I've got a fork over on Gitlab but it just struck me now that instead of being a separate library it should probably be done inside the adafruit beaglebone library itself. On the other hand, this is a unique protocol it's talking, so is that what you really want with your IO library? Anyway... if someone wants to hack it in and get it happening faster than me ;)

Thoughts, comments?

@PeteLawler Thanks for bringing this up.

I'm not opposed to adding support directly in this repo, but I think it might be better for it to have its own repo. I think Adafruit_Python_DHT would be a good model for it:

Python library to read the DHT series of humidity and temperature sensors on a Raspberry Pi or Beaglebone Black.

@tdicola what do you think?

@pdp7 ah hmm that certainly makes more sense, at least modelling after that library if not having a combined DHT/SHT.
